IMR 4895

For several years I've used this powder for reduced loads [mostly 50% case capacity] in my rifles with any bullet. While I don't subscribe to Handloader Magazine anymore I do get the Wolfe Tracks Newsletter & the March edition has a download for Handloader March/April. I find this at the bottom of page 7:

After my article “Reduced Rifle Loads” appeared in Handloader No. 306 (February 2017), Hodgdon contacted me with new information. After considerable testing, they recommend against using IMR-4895 for reduced loads, suggesting only H-4895 and Trail Boss. – John Barsness

Guess I should contact Hodgdon...........Creeker
