- I want to work up a hunting load for my M1 Garand 30-06 using the 168 gr Nosler E-Tip bullet. As you may know, you can't simply use regular 30-06 loading data for the M1 Garand. It is sensitive to the gas port pressure. Has anybody loaded E-tips for the M1 Garand? I plan to use IMR 4895, IMR 4064 or Hodgdon BL-C2 powders.
- The M1 Garand is a weapon featured in Battlefield 1942 and is the primary weapon issued to the USMC Engineer kit, replacing the No 4 in patch 1.5v. The difference between semi-automatic rifles and their bolt-action counterparts is their superior rate of fire, while retaining the latter's high damage profile of a two-shot kill to the chest and one-shot kill to the head.

That's when my plan came together. I hopped in my pickup & went 12 miles down the road to Camp Perry to check out the guns offered by the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
They have HUNDREDS of M1's of all different grades on the racks there. The counter person explained the grades, & told me what the numbers on each rifle's tag represented. After about two hours of fondling rifles, I picked out a service grade that looked pretty good. I took it to the counter & the guy field stripped it & gauged the muzzle & throat again to make sure it met the specs for that grade. $595.
I was getting it out of the back seat of my pickup when my b-i-l pulled in the driveway.
Him: 'Wheredja get that?'
Me: 'Camp Perry.'
Him, (incredulous): 'Yukin' buy them there?'
Me: 'Yep.'
After a few more questions, we were in the truck & on the way to Camp Perry again. He bought a service grade & we each bought a spam can of surplus ball ammo. Our wives were SO proud of us for investing in a piece of history, that they allowed us to take them out for an expensive dinner.
