When your reload your gun is more accurate so you use less more ammo.

Oh, Hogdgon lists a max at 46.9 for IMR4895. I'm not interested in max yet but it's a good to know...
Something you need to be careful about here, is that AR2206H is identical to H4895, not IMR4895.

Different powders from different factories - IMR 4895 is made in General Dynamics' Valleyfield Powder facility in Canada.
And load data is not 1:1 interchangeable for the two 4895's.

BTW, Richard Lee's Modern Reloading has the same Start/Max loads for H4895 as macca gives.

Interesting. I'm sure I was looking at a chart listing both the IMR and H as being the same. Will check again.

Suffice to say I've loaded them conservatively.

Gadge, thanks for the advice.

I had to go interstate to get a decent powder for 270Win. At least it was a bargain! 8)

Too bad no-one local stocks decent projectiles. Will have to order from elsewhere.
