Picked up a rather large lot of .30 caliber rounds for my garand this weekend from a local listing. Included in this lot are around 200 M2 black tip belted together, 50 M2 orange tip, around 300 M2 ball, and a ton of .30 cal blanks all on 5 round stripper clips.
I have a couple questions about this lot, first I've heard its ok to shoot the black tip (penetrator) round through the garand, does this sound correct. Second question is what the heck do I do with all these darn blanks, can I shoot them by simply loading them into enblocs and banging away (want to reload the cases) or do I need some kind of special adapter to fire them, I'm assuming with no bullet it wont cycle the op rod. Would be better to just remove the plug at the case mouth and dump out the charge, resize and use the unfired primer??? Thanks for the help guys.
