You''l like the Greek My M1 shoots very welll with it..oddly my '03A3 dosen't care for it it shoots it's best with the L.C. ammo, must be the diffrence in velocity between the two..Anyway the Greek ammo is pretty good stuff and I have reloaded a few of the greek cases, the primers are staked in, but come right out when resizing them. Seating new primers is not a problem the primer pockets aren't crimped, New primers go right in a feel like commerical brass when seating the primers. The Greek brass looks like decent brass, time will tell, I can say that at least the flasholes are on center, unlike alot of L.C. brass.

I am a member of a CMP affiliated club. On that note, do they still have the LC M2 ball ammo? |

Though it says Non-Corrosive, can never be too sure as it's made in the 60's-70's. Just to be sure, is it really NC? If so, CMP is getting some of my CHristmas money pretty soon. |

Lake City hasn't used corrosive primers since 1951. Anything made by them in 1952 or later is definately non-corrosive. |

Most users report the Greek from CMP is more accurate than the LC stuff. This been my experience as well.
I ordered some online early one wednesday and it was delivered that friday. Great service from those Bama Boys. |

If you are not already a member of an affiliated club, join the Garand Collector's Association.

The Greek HXP is reported as more accurate than the Lake City. LC is hit or miss, with the '72 lots being better than the '68, but it's still a crap shoot. Check out the CMP forums from the guys who have shot both.
I'm ordering some HXP. |

That's not a reasonable question to answer. Rifle barrels are very picky. I've shot my best group with iron sights with Lake City and my Garand. 5 shot 1-5/8" at 100 yards. It will typically shoot 3 - 4 moa. I did not see a huge difference between the 2 as far as accuracy goes. The HXP is newer, so I would think it has a better chance to be more accurate. But it's also much hotter than the lake city I have and sometimes slower is more accurate. I personally like them both but Lake City is a little cheaper |

Can it really be THAT much hotter if both are M2 ball spec? |

The Greek/CMP ammo is NOT hot.. it is just simply up to specs.. (2800fps) (GI specs calls for 2700fps 79ft from the muzzle)

No scientific data here, but I can tell you the Greek HXP (NO OLYMPIC!) seems more accurate. If buying a new rifle getting the Greek stuff is the way to go to boost your en-bloc clip stock!
