Tested first handload in a Ruger Alaskan .416 Ruger. Bullet- Hornady DGS Solid Case- Hornady 375 Ruger, necked up to .416 Primer- Fed 215GM Powder- IMR 4895 Charge- 75.0 Grs. Chronograph 12 ft. from muzzle. Temp 42 Degs. FPS- 2326,2347,2322,2343,2326,2339,2331,2322,2314,2326. ES- 33, SD- 10, Avg.Vel.- 2329 Cases extracted easily and almost seemed unfired. When Spring comes and Temp. rises I will try this load again and some increase to charge weight for an increase in velocity to 2400 FPS average. | ||

Why use IMR-4895 when you can use the less temperature sensitive H4895? One listing of relative burn rates lists H4895 at "110," while the IMR-4895 is "114." H4895 is faster. I will take note of your data and substitute H4895 for IMR-4895. Thanks. | |||
