The other guys are right !!! Stop, don't shoot any more of these through your GARAND !!!

48-50gr of IMR4064 is as good as it gets in the Garand, but you'll bend that op-rod in a hurry with the 4350. That load you're shooting -56.5grs of IMR-4350 will shoot one-hole groups in my bolt action '06, but the port pressure on the Garand is way above nominal levels with this slow burning powder. Shoot in or give away that ammo to someone who has a bolt action, stick with 4895, 4064 or AA-2520 in that Garand.
