    There are a few Garands chambered in .276.

    You stand a better chance of getting hit by lightning after winning the lottery than encountering one in the wild.
    It's not PTSD, it's nostalgia.

            The .276 garand was experimental - first was 3.0 cal, then .276 then patton I think asked for it to go back to 30.06 again

              The .276 was for the Pedersen rifle - A toggle action not unsimuilar to a luger pistol --
              I don't know if the 276 was used in the early experimental garands -

                Yes the prototype was a 276 but then the army wanted a 30-06 one so that is what we have.
                A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

                  Interesting...

                  "Empty cartridge cases should be cared for and disposed of as prescribed in paragraph 29, A. R. 775-10."

                    Gen MacArthur was incharge of the ordnance dept,he did not approve the .276,citing the abundance of .30-06 left from WW1.
