Probably won't hurt it. My first M1 had an uncut (square cornered) op rod and I shot a few boxes of Federal and Winchester hunting ammo in it (150 gr) before I learned that is a no-no. No apparent damage to the op rod or receiver.
But, I don't plan on doing that again. Now it is just milsurp and handloads according to the M1 guidelines. I like Kraig's idea of replacing the milsurp cartridge bullets with 150 gr hunting bullets as an expedient solution. I might have to do that and compare POI and accuracy with unaltered milsurp and my 150 gr handloads.
