notbob...is the Garand a 30 - 06 cartridge?....

Most are indeed. There are several out there that are .308

Yep. My Brother slogged a .308 Garand in a Southern military high school
back in the late 60s. Neat variation, but if you want a .308 get a M1A or a
AR15 variant. The Garand chambered the awesome 30-06, primary dispatcher of
most WWII nemesis(-es?), is more than enough.

However..the 3006 is hardly the normal military loading these
days..and having a couple cases "fall off the back of a truck" is not
going to happen.

Now 308..thats still a normal load..and it could indeed fall off a
truck easily enough.

"Liberals are afraid to state what they truly believe in, for to do so
would result in even less votes than they currently receive. Their
methodology is to lie about their real agenda in the hopes of regaining
power, at which point they will do whatever they damn well please. The
problem is they have concealed and obfuscated for so long that, as a group,
they themselves are no longer sure of their goals. They are a collection of
wild-eyed splinter groups, all holding a grab-bag of dreams and wishes. Some
want a Socialist, secular-humanist state, others the repeal of the Second
Amendment. Some want same sex/different species marriage, others want voting
rights for trees, fish, coal and bugs. Some want cradle to grave care and
complete subservience to the government nanny state, others want a culture
that walks in lockstep and speaks only with intonations of political
correctness. I view the American liberals in much the same way I view the
competing factions of Islamic
fundamentalists. The latter hate each other to the core, and only join
forces to attack the US or Israel. The former hate themselves to the core,
and only join forces to attack George Bush and conservatives." --Ron Marr
