So i was on the CMP forums and found that PPU is now making M1 Garand Specific Ammunition. I find this not that ironic since i always believed PPU could produce good 30-06 for less then Hornday or Federal could make it for us.

 

anyways its selling at $329 per 500, which is about 66 cents a round.

 

Here is the link http://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=AP3006CAN

 

 

I know that right now the HXP is cheaper and for the same $329 you can get almost 600 rounds of ammo, but being that HXP is now a finite resource i think that PPU should be in the game for a very long time.

 

Now if they could only bring us some .308.

That's cool, certainly cheaper than the Federal Garand formulation. Al the PPU ammo have shot, though, pistol or rifle was dirtier than any fed/rem/mex/swiss stuff. Will have to order a box or two to try it--

How is that different than these?

 

The .308 shouldn't be any different, PPU has had that for years. The bullet in the 'new' stuff is 150gr, per the AIM surp link. I would hope that the powder in the new 30-06 is the slower burning type. Some people on CMP forums used the 30-06 ammo below, with an adjustable gas plug.

Unlike the M-14 the M1 Garand doesn't vent excess gas out to prevent it from over pressurizing the OP-rod.

 

This 30-06 has a higher pressure and thus can cause your OP rod to bend and break.

 

 

I have found that the only safe way to shoot a Garand is with an adjustable plug if your shooting commercial.

 

 

 

 

 

When i installed my Adjustable plug i wound up shooting the rifle and put almost 100 rounds through it before i was able to have it adjusted correctly. As a result the rifle will not cycle with HXP but will with the commercial stuff you have pictured.

 

 

If this ammo is truely M1 Garand safe then it will not cycle in my rifle with the adjustable plug.

It is supposedly made to M2 ball specs, a 4895 equivilant powder and a 150gr flat based bullet. Range reports I heard on another forum are good so far. For now I will stick with reloads or HXP

which forum if you don't mind me asking?

Not to derail, but I'm too lazy to google it, does PPU make 8mm Mauser? I heard they make decent ammo for a good price, and that is something that is relative to my interests.

Yes

PPU is still a state owned factory in Serbia that makes most of the 8mm ammo in all of the sucessor states of Former Yugoslavia.

There is new production at aimsurplus.

Try these in your VZ. And see how your accuracy improves. They are available from JG. With the Yugo M75 you can hit 400 m away man size targets all day long.

 

The Serbo army is switching from 8mm to 7.62x51 and to 7.62x54r , that s why they decided to sell their sniper ammo for export.

I'll shop around, their shipping seemed a little high, but those prices are great! $6 cheaper than Remington New production! I want to stop using corrosive ammo, and it looks like that stuff is reloadable, which is great for me, though I only load .223 at the moment, I really got into it to save money on 8mm ammo.

privi makes good ammo. i shot it a lot in my mosin till i started reloading 2 years ago. For 30-06 for my m1 i am working up an m2 equivalent.
