The attraction of H4895 for me is that the same properties that make it good for reduced loads also yield good performance at starting levels, notably in the .30/06 with 150gr bullets. Good velocity and accuracy and all that’s needed in the woods. 46gr with 150gr NPs has shot well in every ‘06 I’ve owned, loaded BTW with a classic Lee loader and a RCBS .308 Competition seater, since I don’t own a regular set of ‘06 dies. Maybe someday I’ll need to bump the shoulders on my cases, but not so far…..
Once I get through dinking around with 5.7x28 loads, I intend to try some starting-level 6CM loads to stretch the barrel life a bit on my Fieldcraft.
