    I have both and can’t see any difference. Like others, I don’t load to the max. I did call Hodgdon once and was told not to worry about it unless I was going over loading book maximum…..which quite a few people do. I’m not one of them.

    I love it when diverse people can come together and agree. But not happening here.

    I first tried H4895 in a 8x56R Hungarian jacketed load. The accuracy was/is excellent . Next application was/is as a cast powder 6.5x55 with #266469. Now a go to powder for loads in all my milsurp rifles. Yet to find a jacketed or cast cartridge I can't find excellent accuracy out of this powder. If forced to settle on one powder , H4895 would be it.

    There are differences however from what the great internet says, the IMR is the older version. And ironically may actually still be the batches that dont meet military specificiation for 4895 as per the original load recipe for 7.62x51 nato.
