As far as I know, there was no 30M72 Match or National Match loaded after 1966. The 1967 Nationals used 1966NM since so little M72 ammo was required. (Most service rifle shooters were using the M-14 with M118 7.62mm ammo) The 30M72 Match and National Match ammo was loaded with various weights of non-canister IMR 4895. Since I have no idea how the early IMR4895 corresponds with today's IMR4895 I shall not provide the loading data. It is easily obtainable by referring to circa 1960's American Rifleman magazines. The bullet used was the 30M72 172 gr boat tailed armory bullet , but I do not believe it is available today except from a few old time shooters. I probably have about 10K bullets left. The primer was a styphnate non-corrosive, non-mercuric primer. The NM cases were specially prepared and the ammo did not have the crimped primer. The standard Match was about the same. In some years the bullet sealant was omitted.
Hope this helps
