What is the appropriate ammo....?

The closer you stay to the '40s M2 ball , the closer your rear sight will be aligned at the longer ranges after being sighted in. Like most rifles , it will shoot tailered target loads ( matchking HPBT ) better than GI ball , prob'ly.

Yes, I think sticking as close to M2 ball as used in the 1940's is the best bet. I am going to use American Eagle's M1 Garand ammo.

Get a can of HXP from the CMP - it's just what you need.

And surprisingly they still have ammo in stock! Midway USA seems to be just about wiped out and shops around me have pretty slim pickings!

Even the CMP has finally set a yearly limit on the ammo purchases. I believe 10 cans per year per customer. Still a lot of ammo (2,200 rounds) but it goes fast if you compete.

Anyone have any issues with shooting 125grain rounds? I bought 2 boxes of remington coreloct the other day. I thought i had grabbed 2 boxes of 150 grain but i had a box of 150 and a box of 125.

what a stupid mistake.
