Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles IMR-4895 Reduced Loads

I've used H4895, IMR 3031, Varget and even TAC for reduced recoil and velocity loads. They all work if one finds the sweet spot for accuracy.
But, if you really want reduced recoil, try the faster rifle powders like 4227 or 4198. My old Dupont Guide says I can get 2100 fps. with 27.5 grs. of IMR 4227 or 2375 fps. with 34.5 grs. of IMR 4198 with a 150 gr. bullet in the .280. Or 2375 fps. (4227, 28.5 grs.) or 2680 fps. (36 grs. 4198) with a 125 gr. bullet. E
