Yup, for my Garand loads I clearly mark it in my chicken scratch "Garand OK" and I only use 4895 and 4064. The 4350 goes into a bolt as well as the H335 which I just learned is M1 compliant but why take a chance when I have plenty of the other loads as well as HXP.

These loads only duplicate military spec. velocities for the given bullet weight, using commercial cases and powders. If you are using military cases, drop all charges by 2 grains.
If you are looking for accuracy, drop all charges by 1 grain and work up .2 grains at a time.
Regarding H335- Anyone here ever loaded that in an M1 chambered in .30-06? It's listed in the Hornaday manual (10th edition) as suitable for M1 Service rifle reloads. I don't foresee a need to use it, but just wondering.
