I still have two cans of IMR, so it will be a while if I buy some "H"
4895 powder to try out, if the price is right.
My 147 FMJ 30-06 is at 2590fps with the IMR powder....
how low can a guy go ?

It's not in the data tables, but I have seen a sheet, I think concerning 'Youth Loads" that says IMR 4895 can be used for loads 70% of max. I've used it a lot in that capacity, and it works great. I think I get around 2600 fps, maybe as low as 2400 fps with a 150 grain. Below that I use IMR 4759 for about 1800-2200 fps. I think it's Unique that goes lower than that, about 1700 fps but you can go on down to like 1200 if you want to. I've got a .357 magnum that can do that, so.....
I experiment a lot and I think 'gallery loads' are fun.
I'm thinking that if I can buy a powder in quantity, that's the way I'll save some bucks.
Um.....I can go PRETTY low.
