Just looked at Powder Valleys site. They are now out of Ramshot TAC. That was quick.

Just looked at Powder Valleys site. They are now out of Ramshot TAC. That was quick.
Natchez shows Ramshot TAC in stock. Haven't bought powder in a while and it seems that when it's available one should get right on it.
Wait. What?!?!
From the Hodgdon/IMR site:
.308, 175gr SMK
H4895 Start: 40.0gr, 2489 fps, 39,100cup \ Max: 42.7gr,2647, 49,000 cup
IMR 4895 Start: 41.0gr, 2463 fps, 42,800psi \ Max: 45.0c, 2704fps, 57,800psi
If I ever run into anything even close to that much lot-to-lot varrience I will quit loading ammunition. Period.
If I ever get handed a hand loaded cartridge by someone who says "Sorry, I don't pay attention to IMR vs H" I will most likely run. And I hate running. :p
David,
get what Bob recommends.
He may have a proven recipe for H4985, but he definitely has one for IMR 4895.
Better get what you can get when you can get it. Those powders are pretty scarce. Jim
That is what the reloading manuals are for to reach these loads!
