John, thanks for this info. I was attempting to offer an alternative for consideration but since I've not used either one in reduced loads, I'm unable to comment on them and will yield to your experience.

I did read (here on the fire, I believe) A comment that Hodgdon technicians have recommended to NOT use IMR 4895 due to inconsistencies but recommended staying with H4895. For some reason, I think John Barsness posted that information. I'll go try to find it.

Thanks again.
