In 30-06 it's listed for 165 grain and up bullets on their data website.

30-06, 7.7 Arisaka, 7.62 Russian, even .223 (it works but not that great)
I've used 4895 for everything, especially 'youth' or 'gallery' loads down to 30% of maximum charge and for its tremendous versatility.
I never thought it was that expensive compared to other powders so this seems ridiculous to me. (I'll bet they are going to phase it out for something 'new and improved'.
Here'sa what I'ma gonna do:
Get enough 4895 for my special needs and only use it for those that need its unique properties.
Get a CHEAPER powder for general reloading. I was getting ready to order a bunch from powder valley. I'm glad I held off until talking to you guys.
Thanks a heap.
