Hello
I seem to remember that Bremmer arms at some time made copies of the M1 Garand in straight pull from spare and refurbished parts ?
Am I correct or is age playing tricks with my memory

150gr, my mate had some a few years ago and they worked fine. As you say, not much on internet about them.
What are you shooting them through??

I shot some of that through my US Model of 1917 going back a few years, like 20 or so. I still have the empty cases in the boxes.

It was only available for a short time, a year or two. It was decent enough stuff and Boxer primed. I think Bremmer Arms put together some 1903 Springfield rifles at the time and the ammo was to go with those.
