I've used IMR4895 And H4895 powders for a lot of years. I haven't heard of "radway green". 0 -
Suppose to burn like imr 4895 is british military surplus powder 0 -
Most of the loads I see result in reduced velocity and usually compressed charges. IMR 4895 is not the best choice for 5.56/223. Keep in mind that military surplus powder might or might not be as uniform as commercial cannister reloading powder so extra caution is needed. 0 -
thank you very much that was info i was looking for!! 0 -
I've been shooting it in my 223 and it works well for heavier bullets.
Couldn't find a load that worked well for anything lighter than 69g.
Tried it in my 30-06 and it shoots like a double based (ball) powder there.
Hang fires and inconsistent pressure.
I think it needs a small case with greater than 90% fill to work well.0 -
I tried RG 4895 in 30-06 loads, It cronos hotter than IMR or H 4895 and produces large fire balls at the muzzle, that tells me, despite data that says otherwise RG 4895 burns slower.
It works but I don't like it, and am looking to sell my 8 pound jug at the next show.0 -
Thank you so much guys this in fo has kept me from spending money on the wrong thing. I buy 55gr fmjby by bulk so it is not a powder for me. was good buy is why i was considering it. thanks again!! 0 -
You might look at RamShot Exterminator. It is pretty economical, burns clean, and my loads shoot accurately. 0
