Greek HXP or USGI surplus M1/M2 ball is the only '06 ammo I would shoot in any of my mil-surp rifles. I find M1/M2 ball at gun shows at HXP prices, sometimes better than HXP price. Two weeks ago I bought 200rds of M1 ball on brass strippers for $70, stuff looks like new, been well cared for since 1912, shoots great to.

The Midway M2 ball is mostly KA head stamped and I read mixed reviews about it.
