This is what I'm talking about where do the thoughts go when it comes to powder selection I can look at what others use but I want to know why.like what are the reasons why one might pick h1000 over retumbo for their 300 Winnie.When I started reloading 4895 was cheap and I pretty much used it exclusively even in my 25 Gibbs with lite bullets but I really didn't know any better back then
H4895 is a different story , its a unique powder when it comes to versatility of charge levels, it has the reduced loads ability ( sometimes you might choose that versatility over consistency you may get from another powder ) if i only had one choice available it would be h4895

when it comes to powder choice , for rifle charges
i will always try/choose the powder that has 100% , barely crunches, case capacity, then ill keep using it if its accurate .. because 75% of all the loads i have worked up all end up being right at that barely crunches charge for some reason ( i wish i knew why that happens )
i try not to get caught up in the fads, like 6.5 CM wont shoot without 4350, although it is a good choice ,we have so many others available to us
i once though that the labeling on the IMR brand line looked bland, reminded me of generic brand food packaging, but i had to buy some in the shortage times to keep loading and found 4064 & 7828 long cut ,gave good results as well
