The Garand was originally designed before there was such a thing as slow powders like 4350 or slower.
The military load used 4895 or similar, so the rifle is built to deal with powders of burning rates close to 4895.
There are many such powders-4895 is excellent. I like ball powders, so I use AA 2520 in mine- the burning rate is almost identical to 4895. Works very well.
