Still trying to find H4895 to make some reduced 6.5CM loads for a friend's daughter, has anyone used IMR4895 instead? I am hearing mixed answers on whether the IMR is safe with reduced loads.
 
I went through this last year with making reduced loads for my .243. I ended up just getting some trail boss. Some 80 grain speers over a pinch of that stuff made for a lot of fun.

I'm loading 100gr partitions and BT's over 30gr of IMR4895 for my daughter. I haven't chronied them yet, but should be around 2500. Hardly any recoil in her LW Storm.

I download IMR4895 to 70% of a published max load in several cartridges. If you have Quickload you can get an idea of a charge weight and pressure/velocity. I like to keep pressure above 30k, 35k is better.
