So far,

Gentleman on CMP Forums had a great price selling that stuff at sub $200 shipped per case.

I bought what I could afford and tried to introduce members here to the deal.

Guy is all out as of over 6 months ago.

Recently had peeps asking me if it was "still available".

Sorry deals like that are fleeting but when it was going and unappreciated it went on for about 6 months.

Was it ever determined whether this is a "Garand-safe" load?

It hasnt been.

FGMM tends to be mild in my experience though.

Granted recoil is second to rate of burn......when does the pressure pass the orifice.

There was a gentleman on the CMP forum that at one time was running lots of tests using pressure reading equipment on a Garand and he found few commercial loads that would damage the op rod.

Anyway an adjustable gas cylinder lock screw is pretty affordable if someone wanted to go that route.
