I bit the bullet, so to speak, and bought 40 rounds of the Federal .30-06 made for the M1. (I'm still slapping my head about forgetting to order surplus M2 ball from the CMP when I ordered my Garand!).

Anyway, FWIW, it shoots nicely and accurately.

I've got the Schuster adjustable gas plug to install - just waiting to clean the stock a bit more before I install it.

And, yeah, to add to what most folks have said: shoot surplus or M1 specific factory loads, hand load, or install the adjustable plug. No sense in tempting fate.
