H1000 and a couple 1lbs of RL16 on the way for me. Thanks for the tip.

I’ve seen very little h4895 lately. IMR 4895 seems to be easier to get to it hands on

 

[El Jason]

Just realized I have less than half a pound of H4895.
Anybody have some and what do you want for it?

I have some. Could trade you straight across for Varget?

 

[Whitetail_kid]

Some on gunbroker but you’d have to need it pretty bad…

 

[joushz]

H1000 and a selection of others in stock at PV. I picked up some H4350, H4831SC, BLC2, Varget, 777 just to top off the supplies in the cabinet.

Thanks for the heads up. Been looking for some.

I've been searching for that one for the last couple of years. I also use it for reduced loads and for my short barreled '06. No dice yet. I've seen just about every OTHER powder come through, but...

Official answer is discontinued by Hodgdon. Same with Trail Boss.
The only reduced load powder out there is Vihtavuori Tin Star. - Unobtanium

I have three pounds of H4895 I’d be willing to sell or trade locally in Southwest Montana. PM if interested.

Same. I have some I really don’t need anymore. If anyone needs some let me know.

What?! It’s a classic, very popular powder. They told you that?

I'm reaching out to them again for clarification. Trail Boss for sure.

I found some chatter about IMR 4895 being discontinued, but not Hodgdon.

 

[Whitetail_kid]

Plenty of IMR but no Hodgdon. IMR 4895 is very easy to get hands on. May have to switch to that.

Midway has a 10% off a lot of stuff and free shipping ($50+) right now. Finally got myself a cartridge checker today so I don’t need to load live rounds anymore as part of my reloading ritual.

Got an email from the Tech Manager at Hodgdon. H4895 Not discontinued, just long supply chain issues.This is imported from ADI in Australia

Quickload and a little Google can be helpful to decifer who makes what for whom..

Bofors is in Sweden
ADi in Australia
NitroKemie is in Switzerland
Lovex in Germany.
There are other makers as well. Vectan(France), PB Clermont (Belgium), Somchem (Republic of South Africa), etc

There are some direct equivalents, there are some custom blends.
Hodgdon VARGET =ADI AR 2208
Winchester WXR = Bofors RP15
Hodgdon H1000 = ADI AR 2217
Hodgdon Retumbo = ADI AR 2225
IMR TrailBoss (discontinued) = ADI AS 25 BP

-----------------
Just like a lot of our favorite Alliant products.
RL-16 = Bofors RL16 (TZ Blend)
RL-17 = Elcho 17 (Elcho seems to be owned by the same company as Nitrokemie)
RL-15 = Bofors RP11 = Raufoss RA11
AR-Comp = Bofors RP11(TZ Blend)
Alliant Reloder-22 = Raufoss RA15 = Bofors RP5/NP ~approximation
Alliant Reloder-23 =Bofors RP36 ZT
Alliant RL-26 = Custom blend for Alliant by Reloader Suiss (aka RS powders, or Nitrokemie)


-------------------
All Shooter's World Powder come from Lovex in Germany
Some Accurate powders also


--------
There are others and the list is pretty dynamic. If you find a list published from the UK, the names of the providers will look different. They are the same powders, it is just that the importing companies may have different names in the UK or be a different importers.

Midway has a 10% off a lot of stuff and free shipping ($50+) right now. Finally got myself a cartridge checker today so I don’t need to load live rounds anymore as part of my reloading ritual.

Good for you. I swear by them.

I thought SW was Czech?

 

[44hunter45]

Good Catch. If you google Lovex powders it says they are based in Germany, but the Shooter's World website specifically says they are imported from Explosia Company, Czechoslovakia.

Picked up a pound of Varget the other day from my local Murdochs, been quite some time since I've seen it on a shelf anywhere. They had maybe 3 more pounds behind the one I grabbed. Probably wasn't the cheapest powder I've ever bought, but I don't think it was horrible. Beggars can't be choosers, something like that.
