“I have two M1s, a 1943 SA and a 1953 HRA. Both have been recently rebuilt by me using as many new or excellent parts as I can find locate. Both weapons fire this ammunition accurately, however, the 1943 SA has an enbloc loading issue. Some folks have noted that the PPU has a slightly shorter extractor groove (for example - https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=70347 ). I do not know if that is the actual problem. Another group of folks think the issue is related to the amount of Parkerization on the newer clips.
I am still trying to resolve the issue. I just rebuilt the 1943 SA and have not gotten back to the range to check if I "cured" the issue.
So, long story short, I like the ammo in my 1953 HRA, but may decide not to use it in my 1943 SA.”
“This is my second recent purchase and everything went awesome from the ammo to the quick delivery and the pricing.
I highly recommend doing business with this organization. I will be making additional purchases as the need arises.

“Have shot ~50 rounds this far and all have properly fired and cycled except for one which the firing pin dented on first fire but shot on the 2nd try. I've put many rounds through this Garand so I don't think it was a gun problem but an ammo manufacturing one.”
