Hello,
My dad's friend has an M1 Garand that was made in 1943. When we were all shooting at a target, he takes a shot with the M1. The case doesn't eject and it is swollen as well. A few minutes later I ask his son what grain bullet he is shooting. He replies, "220 grain." IIRC, you are only supposed to shoot 150 to 173 grain bullets in an M1. It also seems strange that his M1 has been jamming on him for 3 times now. If anyone could shed some outside info on this, it would be great.
Thanks,
Mike
