Default RE: Military brass 30-06

Q?:

How much powder would I need to reduce in loads for military brass?

Currently the only load I tried was what I think is a standard match load- 47.5 gr 4064 with 168 SMK bullet though in commercial winchester brass. I shot a match last weekend with this laod and did pretty well with my 03 springfield. After thematch, I benched the rifle and found the load to shoot very tight.

I' m thinking the standard match load is for use with military brass? It was very mild in the commercial stuff, and toward the low-middle range in the powder charge spectrum. For military brass would this be too much powder, or within reasonable limits? I' m considering ordering some of the LC 68 brass and duplicating this load, as I now need more brass because someone else I know wants to try shooting high power and I' m willing to lend the equipment and ammo.
