While reading the temp insensitivity thread re: 8208, i wondered if it's pressure curve would work in a Garand or M1A.
Anyone have an answer?

It lies between the 4895's and 3031 on a burn rate chart I'm looking at. So loaded to an appropriate level it could be a candidate for an M1A.

Hodgdon's data lists it for 150 and 155-grain bullets in the .30-06, with charges just a little less than H4895, so it probably would work in the Garand as well.
