Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters AA 2495

I had some of about 2015 mfg date. Was involved in the recall. I was reimbursed for my cost. Was told to dispose of it. Found a neat way, put 35 grains in a 220 swift case behind a 50 grain Hornady and shoot at gophers. Bought a can of later production. Accurate says they tried to duplicate IMR 4895. Should be easy as they are made in the same plant. Kernels vary in length, otherwise looks like IMR 4895.

I used a bunch of it in a .45-70 behind a Beartooth Bullets PileDriver Jr, got just over 1800 fps before I yelled "Uncle". It was accurate, too, at least for the first couple shots.

that's a little odd because for my purpose here the 2495 is very closely replicating H 4895 but IMR 4895 is not working for me...

IMR 4895 has worked very well for me in numerous cartridges from .222 up to 45-70 I have used it for 60 years.

when I say not working I mean for me this project is M1A were 2495 and H 4895 running appropriate velocities and cycling the action just fine the IMR version is running the velocities but not cycling the action..

i just got 5 lbs of AA2495 last week for my 6BR rifles anyone have the recipe on best grain weight with this powder ? thanks,Pete53

I just bought a new accurate/ramshot powder Data book I will look in it and see what it tells me here in a little bit and get back with you
