How long did it take for you to actually get it?
The ammo I order a few years ago just at the start of the first big buyout spree under the first Obama term.  It's good ammo...put a hundred or so rounds downrange in June.  It only took a couple of weeks.

The gun came later.  I bought it from an guy in OKC.  $800 it was a steal

IMO long action rifles should have long action cartridges.

Mine arrived about 3 weeks after the paper work and payment was sent in. My sixth edition Hornady reloading book has a section just for the Garand. I chose H 4895 with the 150 gr. sp. H-4895 is one of the powders that creates the right amount of gas to operate the action with out pounding the parts too bad.
