I replied to your thread on another forum.

It is generally recommended to load between 147-173gr bullets for the M1 Garand or M14 using standard jacketed bullet loads.

A powder in the suitable burn rate range for the action of this type of semi auto gas rifle such as IMR 4895, H4895, AA 2495, BL C2, H335, Win 748, IMR 4064 (and there are others).'

As long as you follow the guidlines of bullet weight, powder type, seating primer fully and trimming and inspecting your brass (yes cases wear out faster usually in these rifles than a bolt action hunting rifle as mentioned above) you don't need to buy the Hornady manual specifically.

308 data using proper powder and bullets for the M1/M14 will work fine from any manual.

Hornady says 38.4-44.9gr max IMR 4064 150-155gr bullets
Speer says for 150gr (inc FMJ) 43-47gr C (comressed) max IMR 4064

Either above load will work fine in your Norinco, as it does in mine with or without magnum large rifle primers.
