Hodgdon H4895 is a classic extruded rifle powder originally developed for military applications and now prized by civilian reloaders for its flexibility and reliable performance. With a burn rate ideal for medium-sized cartridges, H4895 is widely used in .223 Rem, .308 Win, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30-30, and .30-06.
This powder provides consistent metering, clean-burning characteristics, and low standard deviations, which are crucial for accurate shooting across a range of bullet weights and velocities. H4895 is also the powder of choice for Hodgdon’s “60% rule” reduced load data, making it one of the few rifle powders well-suited for reduced recoil and youth loads.
Whether you’re loading hunting rounds, target match ammo, or experimenting with reduced recoil loads, H4895 delivers time-tested consistency and trusted accuracy.
