    I saw 4895 and 4064 at Kevins in Tallahassee today. The 4064 is pretty much the same as 4895

    I think you're mistaken about that . What is the source of your load data?
    Luck is the phenomena created when Preparation meets Opportunity .

    The burn rates are very close... look at IMR's burn rate chart. They are both billed as versatile powders with a wide range of applications. Of course specific load data should be consulted for specific loads.

    Both have an established history with .308 loads.

    Point taken but I still don't think their interchangeable . I tend to follow published load data . I guess I'm just not very adventurous when it comes to reloading.

    I agree... what I think the other poster was trying to say was IMR 4064 would be a good alternative... I hope so at least. I'd never just swap data based on just burn rates...

    I strongly disagree with that statement.

    However.

    AirGator is dead nuts right on target, at least in my limited experience.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
