There have been some problems reported with OJP ammo, so try searching.

Has anyone found any info on this ammo. I have some and was wanting to shoot it in my garand. Is this stuff loaded for the m1 garand.

No. DO NOT USE THIS FOR THE M1 RIFLE. This cartridge will produce excessive pressure at the gas port and can damage the operating rod. It is fine for bolt guns (M1917 and high number M1903).

There is far better ammunition on the market, pass on this stuff.

+2 don't shoot it in a Garand. 57-58 are especially bad. Just fine in bolt guns and 1917/1919 MG's & Semi's..

Ok, I have about 180 rounds of the 1961 ammo but nothing to shoot it in. Any idea what I could sell this for. Thanks

It was made for the M1 Garand (GM1 = Rifle M1 in German).... but age must have raised the pressure level a bit, and thus the less than favorable reports.

I did shoot a bunch of this that came boxed and packed on M1 Clips from the 1960s with no trouble, but I am not giving all such ammo a blanket recomendation.

I had much trouble with French 30-06 from this era....watch out for that too!
