I ran out of H4350.
I have H4895, H335 and Varget lying around.
I'll be using some no-name 150gr. moly bullets that I tumbled and got most of the moly off.
Any suggestions for a recipe to shoot 100yd CMP?

For the H4895....Towards the bottom of the link....http://radomski.us/njhp/cart_tech.htm...As usual,start low since you are using a different bullet, and haven't used these powders before.

And this forum should have a ton of good info...http://www.odcmp.org/new_forum/forum.asp?ARCHIVE=true&FORUM_ID=33

Don't forget to check AR15's  "M1 /M1A" forum also.


And while this article by Glen Zediker was written about the M1A, towards the end he mentions the similiarities between the two.... (page 16-17 ish )http://www.zediker.com/downloads/14_loading.pdf

I would load 47.0 grains of H 4895 with your no-name 150 grain bullet and either Winchester or CCI large rifle primer and Lake City brass.  

For shooting at 100 or 200 yards you can probably go down to 46 grains or maybe a bit lower for a lighter recoiling round.
For comercial brass you can up the load possibly as much as a a full grain.

H4350 is too slow-burning to use in a Garand anyway - without damaging the rifle.  The rule of thumb is nothing faster than IMR-3031, and nothing slower than IMR-4320.

There is a great article at http://www.gunsandammo.com/content/matchgrade-3006. I would say to use the H4895 of the choices you listed.
