    Use IMR. The add is an error, but they are close enough that is does not matter. You have to work up your load either way since this in not a canister powder

    You are correct, I meant "NON-canister" grade powder.

    When sold retail it is repackaged into smaller containers provided by the retailer.

    In Canada "H" has historically been providing this service for decades, both with "OEM" bulk canister, non-canister and surplus military powders.

    I'm glad to see that Can-Am has stepped into the breach (so to speak) to provide Canadians with price competative products.

    Are the current ones that ready to ship are from the same lot number? tempting to get 20# for cheap 308 and 223 rounds, but it doesn't make sense if I have to work up the load for every 5lb jar

    and, do you offer a special price if we purchase an entire drum (35lb ish?)?

    Got my D4895 via Canpar today and shot it this afternoon.
    The powder sticks are longer than imr 4895 but it still metered well.
    Loaded some 223 Rem and 308 Win to imr 4895 specs.
    The 223 Rem was spot on with excellent accuracy. 23 grains, 70 gr berger at about 3000 fps
    The 308 Win loads were about 1 gr hotter than imr 4895, or about 60 fps faster. 46grains 155 gr bullet at 2920 fps. Touching 3000 at 47 with pressure signs. Again good accuracy.

    Looks like a good imr 4895 replacement and the price was right.

    How did you got the velocity data from? Did you chrono them? 70gr@3000fps or 155gr@3000fps is insane....

    I ran them through a CED chrony. The 308 Win was hot, 24" barrel. The 223 Rem has a 27" barrel which should pressure out near 3100 according to quickload.
