I will only add that there have been tens of thousands of competitions, (out to 1,200 yards), shot with Garands loaded with LC, Federal, & Black Hills, 168 grain Match ammo over the years [check with the armourers at MCBQuantico!].Found this article and thought it was very informative. I have more than once heard supposed "authorities" claim that you should not shoot any bullet heavier than 150 grain in an M1.

I am also aware that quite a few competitions using Garands were shot with the M72 Match 172 grain bulet, or its' modern equivalent, in recent years.
