Is 4831 compatible with an M-1 Garand gas system? Is that H- or IMR-4831? They look a bit too slow to me. Has anyone actually tried this load in an M-1 Garand?

Loading 30-06 for a Remington 700 or Win 70 is one thing, an M-1 Garand needs a specific pressure curve to function correctly and not damage the gas system. It's probably best to stick with military equivalent loads. JMO, YMMV.
