No one said destroy your original lock screw. If it doesn't work , put the original back on. For $40 bucks, it's cheap insurance.

What research shows a 180grn load is dangerous??

You just responded to the proof....read it again.
Commercial Ammo - Civilian Marksmanship Program
Commercial Ammo in Garands I want to use commercial ammo in my Garand. What concerns should I be aware of? There are several types of 30-06 commercial ammunition that are represented by their manufacturer as being safe for use in all rifles including semiautomatics. Most manufacturers have a...

Here is a link from CMP about using hunting ammunition in the Garand circa 2014.
The gist is some ammunition is safe for use in the Garand and semi-auto rifles, some is not.
They recommend researching the ammunition’s manufacturers information.
I’ll admit, I stopped being active learning all things Garand around 2012 so I missed this tidbit of information.
I do not hunt with my Garands and I reload so I’ll stick with my FMJ or SMK reloads I know are safe for Garands.

The ammunition and/or reloading components, in many cases, weren't around when the M1 was designed and the design hasn't changed. It's not saying the M1or M1A is a bad design it's just saying that some research should be done before just sticking anything you can find in it.

I would love to see a list of commercial ammo that you can NOT shoot in the garand because it WILL cause damage.
Sounds like a good research project.

Been doing it for years....still haven't found any that causes concern. As stated earlier...the warmest (superformance 180grn) is ~7% higher than the warmest milsurp loading. Nearly all commercial ammo is at the milsurp pressure or lower.
But if you can find any that has specifically damaged a properly working garand I'd love to see it.
Not a credible or believable source of information. Useful for entertainment only

Sorry you don't like actual results collected in a SAAMI spec ballistics lab.
I'm sure in time you'll get over it.
Prove it

Already have... scroll up.
Internet chatter as you call it. Prove it
This is why we can't have nice things. When making claims, for or against an argument, it is the responsibility of the person making the claim to provide proof. Otherwise their statement is just opinion. That goes for both sides of the argument. If you make a claim you must back it up. Simple as that. Because I said so is not enough. Saying that someone else said so is not enough. Provide links to a paper, or article so members my decide for themselves the veracity of the claim and supporting documentation.
Again that goes for both sides of the argument. Demanding proof while providing none for your argument is essentially the same thing as the other party not providing proof for theirs. If you want members to believe you, you must support your argument with something more than I said so.
This thread is a prime example of what happens when no proof or citation is provided. It devolves into petty name calling, bickering, and childish analogies. Multiple parties are at fault for this dumpster fire, so once I've had my coffee, I will determine if infractions are warranted.
