I use H 4895 in my 6 PPC. Love it and case life is very good.

Any load data you can share?

Your going to need to go back in time to find it ....unless you stashed some.

Are you still running H4895?

Nice to wake up old threads. Learn something almost everytime.

I wake up and feel like old thread

H4895 = 1100 rounds in a 6 BRA of barrel life, and 8208 is right there with it. You start getting unexplained flyers with misjudgments of a missed wind call.

At my age, a 12 yr old thread seems recent. (Honestly, I never looked at the previous post's date...)

No it's still an old thread but whatever, I've brought them back myself without looking. Easy to do

I should've bought that 64# of 4895 when I was in Arizona a few years back

Not a problem with H4895. I have plenty on hand.

A slight thread detour… I’ve found IMR 8208XBR to be an accurate powder in a 6BR. I have not seen any for sale going on two years… perhaps it too is becoming unobtainium like 4895?

I had a little bit of 4895 left in a can from since II don't know when and I decided to shoot it up in my Savage 223. I was able to load 4 test loads of 5 rounds. The best group was .430 and none over .5. I didn't expect that at all.

H4895 isn’t valid until I can actually buy some

You could get some "trans H4895" maybe since the Cis H4895 can't be had.. does that have any validity to it?

Thin on the ground here in OZstralia where it is made {Bench Mark 8208} but can be had...
The H4895 talked about in this thread {AR2206H} has been "Unobtainium" here where it is made for several years though "May" be available once again some time in 2025...
If ADI can get their act together and repair the "new line" of equipment that they put in and has never been able to produce any powder..

Maybe some Win 748...? Just a bit hotter.
