H4895

[Sausagedog 7,381]

I know some use h4895 and its availability is being phased out. I use to use it and still would if I needed.

I was in a gun shop in Leek, Staffordshire and he has several pounds of it and he thought he can post it via a certain haulier.

Just thought I would let you know.

He also had some of the other great choices and maybe worth a call.

I use 4895 in my 223 and keep meaning to give a call to a dealer down south here that carried it , but at some stage we will have to find an alternative to use and I wonder if I should bow to the inevitable and jump from 4895 to another sort of powder. Now.

Might be worth a call.

Then again there are other options.

I just have a soft spot for 4895, and 322, and 4350......

What cals are you using those powders on ? 4350 .... 243 ?  322 ..... 223 or 6mm?

[Sausagedog 7,381]

I don't anymore but 322 I used in 222 and 30wcf.

4350 in 243 and 6.5 Swede.

15 lbs !!  Now that's what you call commitment to a product.  I do have one pot of 322 left but never seemed to get good groups or velocity out of it.I  found a good loading for my 223 using 4895 and a 55grn Sierra gambling bthp. The combination of gun, powder and bullet is very accurate with excellent terminal result out to 300 yards. Although most shots are around eighty paces. The closest being the other side of an Apple tree.

How do you store that much powder?  We had an instruction sheet sent to the club about storage of powders in a wooden box which was compartme for individual containers.
