Hodgdon H-110 was manufactured for this very purpose. It worked well in the M1 carbine that the DCM sold me in 1967 for $17 (it turned out to be a brand new Winchester, made in 1959!).
Just be aware that this is not a cartridge to hot rod with. It is working a lot closer to the proof level than most cartridges, as the performance from early ammo was less than expected, so the working pressure was just increased without strengthening the gun.
Still a lot of fun to plink with. Walt
