I acquired this Springfield as part of a private trade almost a decade ago and I'm embarrassed to say I've never fired it (or any other M1 for that matter). I was told it is "Service Grade, all serial numbers match". It came with a CMP "Certificate of Authenticity" (which has a 2009 date but does not mention grade), a CMP manual, and a spare clip.
I'd like to start by zeroing the sights for 135 yards, and I need some ammo for it. A local Walmart has Remington 30-06 Core-Lokt 150 & 180gr PSP, Winchester 150 & 180gr SP, & Federal Power Shok 150 & 180gr in stock at $17-$19 per box. Of the above locally available ammo would you recommend or avoid any one over the other in a M1 for starts? Any other tips or hints you may be willing to share with a M1 noob also appreciated. Thank you.
