A: Hi Jordan! I believe this ammo ought to be safe for your Garand's gas block personally, but I've gone ahead and asked your question to Hornady for their opinion. I will relay their answer to you as soon as I hear back from them.
UPDATE: I just heard back from Hornady: "It would be safe in the M1 Garand if the gun is venting pressures correctly. The other issue here may be that the bullet is so light it may not fully cycle the firearm. However I would rather you recommend the item #81171 which was specifically designed for the M1 Garand."
We are unfortunately out of stock on the ammo Hornady recommends: luckygunner.com/30-06-168-grain-eld-match-hornady-vintage-match-20-rounds. We do intend to stock it again as soon as we are able, and we update our site daily. I hope you'll check in again soon to see what we can do for you!
