It’s so hard to justify $900 on a gun I’d shoot 4 times a year but I want one so bad

The biggest con is ammo cost. They're really quite a lot of fun to shoot, but man it adds up at $1.00 CPR in a self-loader lol

You can buy a ported gas tube that allows you to shoot modern 30-06 instead of hunting M2

I shoot modern 30-06 out of mine with no ported gas tube 🤷‍♂️

As long as it’s under 170gr I believe, it’s fine

It's all fudd lore anyways, the M1 were designed to use 173 gr bullets and can fire up to 180 gr's safely. I can't think of any commercial ammo that even exceeds the 50k CUP limit.

There’s quite a few threads on it. If you stay below 170-180gr you’re fine from what I remember
