Product Overview
4895 is a versatile rifle powder with origins in the 30-06 cartridge as a military powder. This is a historic powder for Hodgdon as it was the first powder sold by our founder, Bruce “B.E.” Hodgdon to the reloading public.
As a member of the Extreme line of extruded powder, this powder is a good solution for 30-06, 17 Remington, 250-3000 Savage, 308 Winchester and 458 Winchester, to name just a few. It is amazingly accurate in every cartridge where it is listed in our data.
Made in Australia.

I love this powder in a No.3 Mark 1 Enfield. I use a 174 BTHP bullet and it shoots 1' groups all day long with minimum fouling and recoil. It also works well in a Winchester 54 in '06 with a 147 grain FMJ. Meters very well and quite consistent performance.

5 Excellent Powder

I've used this powder in 308, 223, and now in 6mm BRA and it produces stellar accuracy, great velocity, but above all awesome standard deviations. On all 3 cartridges I was able to product SD numbers below 10 FPS. I also compared velocity between 100+ degree weather and the dead of winter and found only a 20 FPS change.

Perhaps the best powder I've ever used. Consistent over the years, easily metered, temperature insensitive, and great in my rifles.

Awesome powder for my BRA. Keep it coming - it’s been hard to find.

What a great propellant! Very temperature stable, and I am getting nearly one-hole groups now with my 6.5 Creedmoor after trying several powders over the years, including H4350, Alliant RL16 and Vihtavouri. Used it to hit 5 of 5 at 1000 yards. Now my standard propellant!

I chose H4895 for my antique Trapdoor Springfield and it works better than any other powder. Not only is the accuracy amazing for a rifle this old, but the powder offers the best combination of low chamber pressure and case-filling density.

H4895 is the only powder I use in all my large caliber rounds. It has a great powder range so I can load any thing from my 8mm Mauser and below. I use it for my sons and elderly fathers loading to reduce recoil. I also use it exclusively in my old military rifles so I can reduce the loads to be nicer on these classic workhorses.
