4895 Powder?

[A5guy]

Is there anywhere online or otherwise that I can get H4895 or IMR 4895? I've spent so much time looking, and it's always out of stock, EVERYWHERE.
What is happening? Did Hodgden and IMR go out of business?

I bought IMR4895 a couple of days ago at Kempf's in Michigan city.

It's out there, you just have to keep checking different online sources frequently. MidwayUSA and Brownells are my two primary sources and there are a lot of others. Also check the IMR/Hodgdon site as they will offer it for sale as well.

And remember, they do not interchange exactly.

I always thought that was one of the stupidest ideas I've ever seen too. I wonder how many new reloaders have mistakenly used a powder that they thought was correct because it was named so similarly to a different powder.

Yes you really have to be on top of the online sales for powders as they disappear very fast, h4895 is very popular it seems glad i have plenty right now!!

I haven’t seen a single grain of H4895 for sale since Brian’s Surplus got that giant powder order either last fall (I think). It’s the only powder I’m short of and I could use an 8# or two to be comfortable.

If I come across any, I’ll let you know after I buy what I need

I'm curious what you're building with it? I'd have to go out to the garage and check my recipe book, but IIRC I only use IMR 4895 for heavy pill LR stuff. .308 & .30-06 work.

I have not seen H4895 in a long time. IMR4895 was frequently available at MidwayUSA a few months ago when I was actively powder shopping.

Same here...I’ve seen IMR4895, but no H4895. I’ve tested both in my M1A’s and get markedly better results with H...also my ‘match’ Garand load for my Krieger barreled CMP rifle is 46.5grs H4895 over 155Nosler CC in a military case...and I shoot quite a bit of that load too.

Yeah, I want to bring in my 308 groups at greater distance, and improve my M1A groups with iron sights.

Nice catch there mcapo.

Brownells had some in stock last week. Got 2#(the limit). The .30-06 loves it.

 

[topash]

Hodgdon's site shows 1#ers in stock. Was able to buy 5 # of W748 while on site.

 

[mcapo]

One left at Powder Valley.

I’ve actually got the last 5 in my cart, but I’m going to let them go because there’s literally nothing left in stock that I want/need other than the powder. I’m sitting on enough right now and don’t ‘need’ them so will let someone else grab them.

Keep checking/refreshing in the next 10 minutes and 5 more will show up if you need them.

I got a 1lb can of H4895 at the Outdoorsman in Greenwood a few days ago. They had a fair amount and different powders. I bought 6 cans.
