This powder is new to me and I bought it to try in a 30.06 and a 300 SAUM with, primarily, Barnes bullets, but Noslers are also on the menu.

If anyone has loads/experience with this powder, please let me know how you like it and what you've used it in. Thanks.

i use in all my 06s with 165 gr pills.they all shoot real well with it.i think i use 65 grains powder.

Hey Doc,H4895 is great powder for lots of calibers,go the the hodgdon/imr website & they list all the start and max loads for all recommened calibers,FPS,Pressure everything,check it out,I like h4895 but in 30-06 i like H414,imr4831 also..Good luck & keep us posted on how it works out..hope this helps,,,,,Hey i found it,look at my next post .....Thats the link..

65.0 grains would be a little on the WARMside! hodgdons shows 30/06,165 gr, H4895 44-48 grs

Thank you for the responses.

I did notice that when using this powder, there is a lot less of it in the case than most I'm used to. Seems like it runs about 80-85% capacity.

Ultimately, I could care less, so long as accuracy is there.

In my 03A3 3006 and 165 gr SPBT bullets H4895 is the second most accurate powder I have ever fired. It consistanyly shot under MOA groups with several different loadings.
The most accurate load I have is with H414. But it tends to like just a single load - go up or down with the charge and the accuracy fall off. It give more velocity than the H4895 does but it isn't as forgiving.
