I have about 4-5 pounds of H-4895 that my father in law got as military surplus back in 1969. Still good and I used in my grandson's 7mm-08 to get a 1/2 inch group at 100 yards. Also use it to load 308 ammo for my son's M1A scout rifle. I wish I had more then the 4-5 pounds that I have.

I still have some to the Scottish made 4895. I have used it in my .222 with great results.

Ok Guy's Thank's, I was thinking about bringing it home and running pill's out of a M1-A at the same measure as the current H-4895.
Or would it be better to hold on to as some sort of Collector's item ?
