John, actually it's Hornady's new "Garand" round that will be issued for the games. Here's a link to the CMP program that explains it. You have to scroll down about a third of the way. They don't make it easy to find.

The new production part isn't new....the buzz that it's going to be Federal is! Could have been a brain-fart on the part of the source...but it's a good source inside the CMP HQ. Could be wrong....but I hope it isn't! While ANYTHING is better than that HXP crap, that it might be Federal is even better still!

How crummy is the HXP? My service grade H & R was spraying HXP 68 all over the place but it seemed fairly accurate in a couple of 03/A3s. Carl

I don't consider HXP crummy, but it is what it is... ball ammo. I have also noticed improved accuracy when shooting thru my 03A3, and my garand... well it does okay. The best HXP I have come across was the 1969 production stuff. The 1977 production that I have been issued at Camp Perry the last few years, was less than satisfactory. With that said, I shoot the heck out of HXP. I am glad CMP is going back to new production ammunition, whether Federal or Hornady for the CP games.
