I've shot a fair amount with Garands. And mostly pigs. I've dumped 3 pigs in one run when they were at a turned over deer feeder and I snuck up on em. First head, second on the run back of head, third through shoulders.
Then followed the other 2 until I caught em crossing a creek and dropped both of them.
That with some cheap factory 125 WW soft points I had found.
Generally have used it with 165 bullets though and some old powder like H380 burn rate that was surplus powder. No issues.
