Every one has their favorite loads. I remember many years ago, a guy I used to shoot with started reloading his .25ACP's for use in a Phoenix/Raven. Would fill the case w/Bulleye, insert wooden dowel, tamp down load, more Bullseye...etc. you get the drift.
After a couple of mags, and several months of recovery and therapy, his new nickname was "Lefty"
And, copied directly from Hodgdon's website, for folks that like Hodgdon's powders, regarding loads for the M-1 Garand:
If loads are to be used in a semi-auto, especially the Garand, H4895 should be the powder of choice to protect the operating rod. The gas system of the Garand was designed to use the amount of gas produced by H4895 for proper function.
