To start, an acronym pronounced IlmGee... "I Love My Garand." Hmmm.... might make a good bumper sticker, methinks.
It is also the ONLY firearm that I have felt the desire to name - "Big Dog". After only 8 rounds, no less.
I've been feeding BD Talon ammo - good, cheap range fodder, tho not very accurate (which I already knew - for me, 4" groups at 100 yds.).
Now I'm looking for something more accurate, commercial, with a burn rate that will keep the chamber pressure within specs and not do nasty things.
My short list:
PMC 150 gr. FMJ (Close to M2 ball specs.)
Federal American Eagle 150 gr. FMJ
Federal Gold Medal Match 168 gr. BTHP
... Other?
I plan to shoot BD in a DCM high power match (for fun and practice), so any and all helpful suggestions appreciated.
TIA.
