I'm going to order my CMP Garand tomorrow. I want to make sure that I can feed it what it likes.
Given that .30-0-6 is one of the most common .30 rounds ever, which of the many varieties and brands should I go for? Is the Garand like the SKS, which will slam-fire if not fed ammo with hard primers? Or can you shoot the softer commercial primers with the Garand? What brand do most recreational shooters prefer?
I'd also like some tips on how to lube this thing. My SKS seems to do ok with FP-10, but people tell me that the Garand does better with some actual Grease. What should I use, TW-25B? Or some other sort of grease?
Thanks!
