    Are there any commercial 30-06 loads that would be unsafe to fire in an Eddystone M1917? I'm headed out tomorrow to put some rounds down range and don't want to dip into my M1 Garand food if I don't have to. Thanks.

    It's a strong action, would not worry about it. Saw a custom rifle built on that action in 458 Win Mag.

    The 1917 action is VERY STRONG. I wouldn't worry about it but if you do, it don't hurt to take it to a smith to check out the headspace and crown. Just for peace of mind.

    I honestly don't think you have anything to worry about.
