Fulton Armory's M1/M14/M1A Ammunition Recommendations

by Clint McKee & Walt Kuleck


Clint, what ammunition do you recommend for 7.62/.308 cal. M1s & M14/M1As and .30-'06 M1s?

We recommend 147-150 grain full metal jacket for standard fodder, and recommend and offer 168 and 175 grain Black Hills Match for accuracy. Our rifle accuracy guarantees are based on the appropriate Black Hills Match ammo.

Clint, what about hunting ammo? The last batch of hunting ammo I tried did not cycle the action quite right and I had a couple of malfunctions. Thanks, Pat.

Pat, we offer Black Hills Gold .30-'06 and .308 Winchester, with a 165 grain Nosler Ballistic Tip. You want the hard polycarbonate tip to keep from gumming up the rifle with lead shaved from soft point tips, and 165 gr is an ideal weight for the M1.
