Re: Wanting to build am M1Garand 9.3x62
I second the idea about the .35 Whelen as a more logical modification.
However, I also think it would convert the Garand into a bigbad buckensnorter, and might be Badd Juju where the Oprod is concerned.
Further, I honestly can't envsion there being that many feral monsterporkers around where a lesser chambering won't be adequate. Hell, the .30-'06 oughta be plenty all by itself.
