    You'll need to give it a while as we only just started shipping it this week.

    Oem also called NON-cannister grade, ie) the stuff supplied to factory cartridge manufacturers.

    They have their own labs and adjust loads for specific velocity and pressure curve requirements.

    Edited to correct terminology.

    OEM grade does not mean it is commercial IMR4895, hence my question. And, I trust Canada Ammo's customer reviews/experiences with Canada Ammo's products more than generic responses with similar products on other forums.

    Take care,

    Well this saves me a lot of money. Ordered 10lbs. As long as it performs half decent and doesnt explode my guns ill be happy. Will be nice to be able to load plinking 308 for just over 40c/rd.

    I used lots of the D4064 to make cheap .223 rounds with my Dillon. It wasn't great. I polished the caliber specific funnel to take out some of the machining marks from dillion and still got the odd bridging incident. Maybe one or two every 100 rounds. It makes a mess when it happens, but I just cleaned up after making 500 rounds. In the end it was worth it for me time wise because measuring each of those 500 charges would be much more painful for me than just reworking the two rounds effected when the bridging occurred and cleaning up afterwards.

    The plus for me was when I used Hornady bulk .223 55 gr bullets I got consistent 1MOA ammo with my bolt gun. 55 gr CamPro's got 1.5-2"@ 100M. The D4064 charge nearly filled the case and you could easily do a visual quality control check before you placed the bullet in the case by observing the charge level. It also ran awesome in my AR15.

    I'm expecting this D4895 to be a similar experience. I'll report back.

    OEM and canister are not the same, they are pretty much opposite.

    OEM is sold in bulk to ammunition producers. Canister is sold in canisters to hand loaders.
