Re: military surplus powders
I've been using Wideners 4895 surplus powders for years. Get at least a 8 pound jug and work up loads...some lots may be faster or slower than others. Shoots great, however.

Re: military surplus powders
My 223 and 308 loads have been based on Wideners IMR4895 for quite some time.
69gr SMK (and 68gr BTHP Hornady) + 24gr 4895 at mag length, different loads for 308 using Scenars (155 and 167) and SMK.
Now I have only non-suplus 4895, but I wouldn't have any problem trying it again.

Re: military surplus powders
Several years ago I had decent luck w/ the surplus 4895 and H335 from gibrass. It's been gone for quite a while, but at 1/2 price I'd get more. This was for 223 service rifle reduced course or 200-300.
