150 gr - yes
.270 - why? Just stick with the 150 gr 30-06 ammo since that is what the gun was made to fire.....
I believe the .270 round is what the designers wanted it to use in the Garand so they could fit 10 rounds into the clip but the military ordered the rifles in 30.06 do to the massive supply of 30.06 ammo already available for the 1903's. Enjoy that Garand!!
I believe you’re thinking of 276 Pedersen.
Regardless, definitely don’t shoot 270 in a 30-06. You probably won’t hurt anything but it would be wildly inaccurate and completely pointless.
I have seen photos of 7,62 or 308 fired out of a M1 rifle, case looks like a 444 marlin - no shoulder, not smart to do - no damage but still stupid
Hey Singer,
It has been a long time.
- So it's ok any 150 gr
- About the .270 that came to my mind because they are very similar.

Hey Rcathey,
So a .270 would be just a plan B scenario in case there's no 3006 around, thank you.

I would wonder if the rifle would function properly with such an undersized bullet
Hello Jim
It has been a long time, you are so right we need to stick with the right ammo recommended for each weapon, I was just wondering because both calibers came from the 3003 and have a similar size and ballistic.
