Anyone using Ramshot Hunter for milsurp calibers?

[Walther_PPK]

So I’m looking for an alternative to IMR 4064 for my milsurp bolt guns. Just wondering if Ramshot hunter is a decent choice for the more popular wartime rounds. Or, alternatively, is there another powder (that’s actually available right now) that would be a better choice?

A list of calibres I currently use 4064 in that I plan to reload:
-6.5x52 Carcano
-6.5x55 Swed
-30-06 Spring
-7.5x54 French
-7.5x55 Swiss
-303 Brit
-7.62x54R
-8x57 Mauser
-8x50R Lebel
-32 Remington
-35 Remington

Any info would be appreciated as I would like to save my dwindling supply of IMR 4064 for my Garand and Ljungman as I’ve more or less perfected the load for those rifles.

Hi! For my 9.3 x 63 I use Ramshot big game which gives me the best performance! I also use it for my 270 win! I recommend it!

I use Ramshot Big Game in some loads for my 303 British [1910 Ross] Dave.

Ramshot Hunter is in between 4350 and 4831 for burn rate. Similar to Winchester StaBALL or H100V

Should be good for 6.5x55 and 30-06 of what you listed

Sorry, I was referring to “big game” as previous posters recommended. I’m aware hunter is available so I wanted some people to chime in with experiences with it before I try it.

Alternatively I’m looking for recommendations of powder I can actually buy in todays market that’s a good alternative to 4064.

I may not use hunter at all, I’m leaning more towards H380 now.

Good info. Thank you. I may also try H380 as through online research I’ve found people using in in pretty well every calibre I’ve listed.

Hunter is a staple for 30-06 with 180 grains. High speed and extreme accuracy with more than one bullet at around 57-58 grains. it will exceed the speeds obtained with IMR 4064 by around 200 fps. This is from a Browning BAR. And it is available right now from one of the sponsors for $56 per Lb.
