Greetings 300wsm for life, Hodgdons only recommends AR2206H (H4895) for loads reduced below starting loads. They don't even recommend IMR4895 having found the ADI powder worked better. 500 grams of...

Greetings Proudkiwi, A very fair question. I think it is just that I like doing it. My experience is that the military brass is excellent quality, at least as good as most of the US commercial...
