Description
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.
Available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers.

I get the 1/2" groups, the best of any load in my pre-64 Model 70 .30-06, when combine H4895 with the 150 gn Barnes TTSXBT. Terrific combination!

H4895 - Highly recommended for 308 with 168-176gr. bullets in 20" barrel
H4895 - Highly recommended for 308 with 168-176gr. bullets in 20" barrel: I have experienced low SDs (less then 5 fps on average using Lapua brass), accuracy (sub-MOA 3 shot groups in my long stroke gas gas piston rifle, sometimes less then .5 MOA at 100 meters) and velocity (2638 fps for 176 gr. A-tips and 2670 for for 168 TMKs). Hodgdon, please, please double or triple production so I can get some more and other shooters can also benefit from this great temp. stable powder.

h4895 powder
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.

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.
