IMR 4895 vs H4895

Post by fredbeer »

I have about 4 lbs of IMR 4895 that was bought several years ago loading for my Garand. How does this compare to H 4895 loading for .204 Ruger? They seem very close according to the data I've seen on the 204. Anyone found a good load using IMR 4895?

Yep!! I haven't tried H4895 yet, as I had IMR 4895 and I didn't see the need to change :D

Nice group! I need to find a recipe for H4895 and the 39SBK's. Anybody know where I might find one?? I've got Hodgdon's book but it doesn't show anything for the 39's in 204.

Thanks,
