Larryjk, keep in mind that when the M1 Garand was designed in the 1930's, powders with slower burning rates, like 4350, did not exist.
You want to stay with a powder burning rate about like the 4895 that the cartridge was using when the rifle was designed.
4895 is a classic, 4064 will work (don't use anything slower), Accurate Arms 2520 is good is you want a ball powder, and I suspect Hodgdon's Varget or BlC2 would work, as well as Reloder 15.
