I also understand the work in that action properly there are a few recommended powders and loads. question b with these recommended loads how much faster velocity is a 30-06 doing over the 308? with equal weight bullets or is that a big factor also? if the bullet weight is not a that bigger Factor let's just say 168

For factory ball ammo... the M1A is generally a little faster.

But, if you install a GarandGear Ported Gas Plug?

... factory or hand-load 30-06 hunting rounds shine.


I prefer the M1 Rifle for hunting.

It's smooth bottomed and handles well in the field.

Generally shoot 168 gr. TSX ammo.
