Reloading M1 Garand with Hornady .308 150g FMJ

If so was it a flat base vs a boat tail?

If you pull bullets from older .30 cal you find a spitzer. I had a couple thousand that were pulled from U.S. issue drill rounds and tumbled, they were all spitzer and shot like they should. They also shot out of everything .30 cal bore we had... I used to shoot more 165 gr spitzer out of the .30 cal rifles and it was magic by comparison.
