I have a ton of HXP left and use my own reloads for hunting amm for my Garands, but here's a good link. He did a bunch of testing, and Garands were shot a bunch before guys heard about "Garand safe " ammo. I wouldn't have a problem using some commercial ammo in any of mine, BUT I wouldn't shoot any of the "magnum" ammo some are making, or anything over 150 grains. If a guy is worried get a adjustable valve or one of the ported ones from Garand gear.
