A few years ago I bought some loaded ammunition at a gun show for use in my M1A. For a variety of reasons, I haven't shot the ammunition yet. I recently got into reloading and learned about port pressure issues with service rifles. I have read to only use powders with burn rates in between IMR 4895 and 4064. TAC is listed as one powder faster than Hodgdon 4895 in both my Sierra manual and on Ramshot's website:

The ammunition came with a printout of the load data from QuickLoad. It was loaded as follows:
Sierra 168gr HPBT MatchKing 22 (appear to be moly)
LC Brass
42.0 gr of TAC
COAL 2.800"
No primer listed
Is this ammunition safe for use in my M1A?
