I have recently picked up a very nice Danishicon contract Garand 7.62 (Tipo 2- 1/2 inch shorter than a 30-06). A little bit of research on the 7.62 vs. commercial .308 still has me wondering. 7.62 is pretty hard to find here in Canadaicon. I've shot Hornady .308 HPBT 168gr Match and Rem UMC .308 150gr FMJ out of my Polytech M305 (M14icon) without much trouble. Looking up the ballistics for M80 ball (2750fps @146gr), both these are in the neighborhood in terms of muzzle velocity (2700/2650 respectively).

What is everyone using for .308 commercial ammo in there 7.62 Garand? BTW I don't reload. I also have a Shuster adj. gas plug on its way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
