It's a good article for someone learning about what to feed a Garand. Typically when reloading for a Garand the usual harangue is to use only IMR 4895 as the propellant. The author of the article very clearly explains how it is all about staying under the pressure limits for a Garand. He used Varget as a propellant and had good accurate and safe ammo. I too use Varget in my Garand and get good safe results.

If you're going to reload/handload for a Garand I recommend the Hornady reloading manual. In it the reloader will find good Garand ammo recipes that will be safe in a Garand.

Good post Thaddeus!
