So I've been reading 196scoutmaster's thread about his new Garand and people have been giving conflicting statements about the ability of using heavy 30-06 ammo with an adjustable gas plug. Now I know that you could take any 30-06 round and put it in a Garand and it should go boom, but what I'm really asking is what is safe to do for a sustained time without putting excessive wear on the rifle.
In 196scoutmaster's thread dscottw88 says
but Orlando says
So what is the straight sauce on the adjustable gas plug? It seem to me that with the adjustable plug the only thing limiting ammo potency is the strength of the chamber, bolt and reciever, is this not so?
In 196scoutmaster's thread dscottw88 says
your gun is no longer limited to specific loadings. Now ALL 30-06 ammo can be used in your gun. YAY!
but Orlando says
#3 Commercial ammo with bullet weights under 180 gr. used with a adjustable gas screw
