Hodgen vs. IMR 4895

[judgedelta]

I'm loading for 308 and 30-06 and .223/5.56 gas and bolt guns and want to order a quantity of powder before another price increase hits. I have used both powders some in the past and can't really tell any difference (other than the loads are not interchangeable) I would appreciate more experienced thoughts on which is better, since I don't really want to have to stock both. Thanks a bunch...

The H4895 is part of Hodgdon't Extreme line and going to be less temp sensitive. That's a good thing to have in a powder.

What do you mean by: "going to be"? If not now, when???

"Going to be" as in compared to. Not "going to be" as in the future.

How's this, H4895, being one of Hodgdon's Extreme line of powders, is less temp sensitive than IMR4895.

Hodgdon may be less temperature sensitive but does have a faster burn rate than IMR 4895.
