Don't forget, Hodgdens H4895 can be used as well. 46-47 grains of H4895 is a sweet shooting load as well with your chosen bullet. I'm with Phil on this one about the ported gas plug. In over 30 years of shooting the M1 rifle, I've never had the need for the plug. Just use well established and proven M1 rifle loads and you'll be good to go with no worries.
Just as an aside, my favorite go-to load for all 4 of my M1 rifles for match shooting is 46.5 grains of H4895 behind the A-Max 155 grain bullet. That load is deadly-accurate, at least in MY rifles. Let us know how you fare with your chosen bullet/powder load. None of us are too old to learn.
Have fun, and good luck on your hunt.

Another vote for H4895. 46-46.5 grains with a 168 MK. If the rifle won't shoot with that load it probably won't shoot. H4895 is also useful for .308 loads in M1s and M1As.
