Hello gents. I wanted some of your opinions. I have searched the internet and I'm not finding a lot on it. I'm about out of Varget and I have not seen a single pound in a year. What I do see a bit of is IMR4895. Its pretty available right now and I'm thinking about picking up 1-2 pounds and starting load development with it. If it gives me less them .4 MOA I may have a good alternative.

Right now I'm shooting a Savage 12 F-Class 6BR Norma 1/8 Twist, 30 inch barrel.
30G Varget, CCI 450 Magnum Primes, Lapua Brass, 105 Berger Hybrids -.25 off the lands and 2750 FPS average velocity.
Standard Deviation with this setup is 6.41 (2744-2759 fps) and it will hold a .84 inch group at 200 yards.


6BR.com mentioned IMR4895 in their general facts page and I'm running out of powder options. To be honest, I have never even seen R-15 EVER here in Kentucky and I'm one of those guys that will take a day a week and hit most of the major stores searching for a new shipment.

Has anyone here tried IMR4895? What kind of groups are you getting compared to Varget or R-15?
