I've read on the interweb that commercial ammo with bullet weights of 150
grains or less (although Hornady has a 168 grain load that is Garand friendly)
is suitable for feeding to your Garand.  I have purchased quite a bit of M2
equivalent ammo from http://www.ammogarand.com and had good results with it.
They are also a good source for bandoleers, en bloc clips, slings and some
other odds and ends M1.
