Alternate calibers for the M1 Garand
I'm following a conversation about obtaining new barrels for the Garand in alternative calibers. Guy says if he can get at least 10 people in on a caliber he has a maker who will run them off. He has rim diameter and OAL restrictions. And lots of different cartridges have been talked about.
I think .308 is a good alternative for a Garand, but I don't have as much experience as some of you guys. What cartridge do you think would be worth pursuing?
P.S. Just checked in, and I guess enough people wanted 6.5 x 55, so, he's doing a run of ten in that size. I know nothing about that cartridge, though.
