H4895/30.06 AND 300 SAUM
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.

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.


Speer, Sierra, Lyman, Hornady, Hodgdon have reliable reloading data. You won't find it on so and so's web page.
