That narrows it down!
Any plans for an IMR 4895 type?
Along with .30 cal 150 Gr by the bucket?

I want to set up my own personal Garand ammo factory...

Will the 4895 also work well in magnum rifle cartridges? I have 308's but also 7mm R.E.M. Mag and 300 win mag. Would love to only nee a keg of pistol and a keg of rifle powder!
 
It is listed as Hodgdon 700x on the website not IMR 700x

so use the Hodgdon 700x load data?



Hodgdon 700-X .400" 1.125" 4.2 900 25,800 PSI 4.7 986 33,500 PSI

4895 would work for 300 Win Mag with under 150 grain bullets. Not so much for 160 and over.
Hodgdon doesn't list 4895 for 7mm Rem Mag.. that's what 4831 is for. :) VV N160 works well too.
 
Great news for the 4895. Guess my Garand will shoot more and more of those 180gr cast boolits...
 
This just made my morning! Bring on the cheap powder.

I'm stocked on H4198 right now, but I'll still grab a couple pounds of D4198 with my next order, whenever that will be. Also a pound or two of D700 to feed the .45's!

D4895 will be very, very popular. If you guys can swing some D4350 and maybe some D7828 for the "larger capacity" crowd, you'd be heroes!

Light bullets it will work.4895 is a very versatile powder but magnums like slower powders best. The addition of D4895 D4350 and D4831 would be an awesome line up

Ok thanks, so I guess the keg for pistols and 10lb of the 4895 and hopefully some others as they become available! I will need others anyway for 9.3x62 and .338LM.
 
This is great for the Canadian market. We've been shafted by powder prices for many years. While 4198 is good to have, 4895 is so much more flexible in terms of calibre that it would be worth buying in real quantity. Given the bulk grade of the powder, buying large quantities is probably necessary to avoid repeated load tweaking.

Kudos to Canada Ammo and eyes out for the 4895.
