Hi Michael and welcome. Not true. Springfield is the name of the 30-06 cartridge in general. This load runs at a Muzzle Velocity of 2910 fps which is not recommended in the M1 Garand. You can find M1 Garand specific ammunition here : https://ammoseek.com/ammo/30-06?ikw=garand --------------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
