Would you fire this in your Garand?

**viejorifle** · 09-07-2013 11:08 AM

Greetings:

Acquired ammo can of 30 cal. Looks like Korean characters on the boxes. Cartridges have OAL 3.330 which is longer than the Federal 30.06 Springfield round and another 30.06 round marked WW (Winchester?).

Wondering if primers are Berdan or Boxer and corrosive.Attachment 45659 Attachment 45660 Attachment 45661

if someone can verify whether this is OK to shoot in either a Garand icon

and/or a Remington 742 I would appreciate any input.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Made in Korea 1974 and Garand icon

friendly. Good ammo, boxer primed and non corrosive. The bullet length compared to soft point hunting ammo is nothing to be worried about.

"Wish CMP

Good lord, how jaded we have all become... a dozen years ago we would have killed for the chance at a documented C or D!
