The M1 Garand: the rifle that does it all

The M1 Garand was the standard U.S. infantry rifle in World War II, a .30-06 semi-automatic fed by an eight-round en bloc clip that ejects with a distinctive ping. General Patton called it the greatest battle implement ever devised. It is heavy, durable and accurate, and it remains a popular collector and range rifle.

Why people still shoot it

• Durable and accurate: a rugged rifle that still shoots well decades later.
• Historic feel: it is a hands-on piece of American military history.
• Classic handling: the weight helps tame recoil from the .30-06.

Gear for your Garand

Look for .30-06 ammo at Natchez and True Shot Ammo. Keep it clean with supplies from Brownells, and wear ShellShock electronic hearing protection on the line.

For more on the rifle, see our history and features overview of the M1 Garand below.

Henry .45-70 vs a steel plate

The .45-70 Government is a classic big-bore cartridge that has been around since 1873, and it hits steel with plenty of authority. A Henry lever-action in .45-70 is a fun, powerful rifle for the range and a capable hunting gun at close and medium distances. Watch the video above to see how it handles a steel plate.

Shooting steel safely

• Use proper steel targets: only shoot targets rated for your cartridge and bullet type. See steel targets and Infinity Targets.
• Mind the distance: shoot from the distance the target maker recommends so fragments do not come back at you.
• Wear eye and ear protection: big-bore recoil and blast are no joke. Use ShellShock electronic hearing protection.

Gear
