3031 at 33gr gave me 2300 fps and tight groups in my 20” post-64 M94 with Hornady 3035 (150gr) bullets. No issues, but note this is over current book max - but right at max according to velocity and QL. Some “older” manuals listed max at 33.5gr. 30 gr also shot good around 2050 fps, and is the reduced recoil load for my kid.
Leverevolution at 34.5 gr gave 2300 fps with 160 FTX in the same gun. Be aware Hornady and Hodgdon have vastly different load data (max) for this combo. I’d start at 32.5gr with 150s and work up slowly from there.
H4895 around 30gr is also good with 150s.
