imr 4895

i have used it with 55 and 62 gr fmj works good you can start with 22gr

ended up 23.5 gr under a 40gr Nosler for my Mini 14. 4895 is a very popular .223 powder

Isnt it a bit slow for a semi? 4895 is more of an classic slow powder, great in 308,.30, 7mm,8mm, etc.

It is a great bolt-gun powder.

I use the h4895 in 40 gr and 50 gr bullets its a tack driver in my tikka 223 bolt action.

It works just fine, start at the bottom and work up unless you find that your starting load does everything you want. It is probably not possible to get enough IMR 4895 into a 223 case to cause dangerous pressures but don't quote me on that. You may be happier with H335, especially if you load on a progressive.

25gn 4895/ 55gr fmj has been doing good for me. Love 4895 very versatile

[fatfreadiescat]

Went with 25 grn behind the 50 grn bullet,

I bought a 20lb can of 4895 for $160 so I have been using it for several different cals.

Where did you find 20# of 4895 for $160?
