308 in 30-06

Ran out of .30 caliber blanks on the first day of a 3-day field problem at ROTC camp at Ft. Bragg in 1966. However, we had beaucoup 7.62 for the M60s which of course wouldn't work for more than 5-6 rounds without jamming. We delinked a whole bunch of 7.62 and ran our M1 Garands with them for two days. We had no blank adapters anyway, and had to work the bolts manually, but they shot just fine. The brass looked a little funny when it came out....
