Description
Hodgdon H4895 is a versatile extruded rifle powder with a place at the beginning of the Hodgdon story. Its origins trace to military powder used in the .30-06 cartridge, and it was the first powder sold by Bruce “B.E.” Hodgdon to the reloading public. That is more than a footnote—it is a powder with deep roots at the loading bench.
As part of Hodgdon’s Extreme line, H4895 is a good solution for a broad selection of rifle cartridges. Hodgdon lists it for .30-06, .17 Remington, .250-3000 Savage, .308 Winchester, and .458 Winchester, among others. Use the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center to confirm data for your exact cartridge and application before loading.
H4895 is noted by Hodgdon for accuracy in every cartridge where it is listed in the company’s data. Its extruded form and wide range of listed applications make it a practical choice for handloaders working across compatible rifle cartridges.
Made in Australia, Hodgdon H4895 is available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers. Select the container size that suits your loading volume, then let current published Hodgdon data guide the workbench.

This is a awesome powder
Perfect, clean burning, extreme accury. I use it in my smokeless muzzleloader and shoot one hole 3 shot groups at 100 yards. Accury and performance out to 500 yards killing white tail deer.

H 4895
This is my go to powder for everything in the .30 cal range because it works and is reliable. Unfortunately it is not always available which is frustrating the I go to the IMR version which I believe to be the same or very close.
