A: Hi Ashton. The M1 Garand ammo is specifically designed and loaded to prevent damage to the operating rod and gas system in Garand Rifles. The actual "recipe" as far as the propellant used is a proprietary component and I am not sure if they will divulge that information. The two loads will shoot similarly but there will be a slight difference in the ballistics since the standard Federal 150 FMJ rounds are about 170 fp/sec faster at the muzzle than the Garand round.

A: It will absolutely work in your Garand. Most experts agree that you want to stick as close to the 150gr as possible. These rifles were designed to shoot that bullet weight from the factory.
