If you need Garand fodder, Updated

Midway has some


Update: This being Midway I'm hoping they filtered out the bad stuff, do have this from a commenter:
 I have shot a crap ton of the POF .303 Brit. Y'all should know that this stuff is VERY VERY VERY VERY corrosive ( like battery acid , It uses Fulminate primers as dose EVERYTHING made by POF before 1980 ) It is also loaded with OLD formula Nitro powder and is most of 50 years old. I don't know about y'all but I like my 1500$ Garand more than that.---Ray P.S POF IS NOT BRITTISH. It is made in Islamabad Pak-E-Stan.
I've used some of the Paki .303 as well; yeah, you'd better do the full corrosive-primer cleaning with it.  Again, I'm hoping Midway actually tested the stuff, since they specifically say 'non-corrosive'.  So if you get some, keep an eye on things after shooting.
