4895 is a versatile rifle powder with origins in the 30-06 cartridge as a military powder. This is a historic powder for Hodgdon as it was the first powder sold by our founder, Bruce “B.E.” Hodgdon, to the reloading public.

As a member of the Extreme line of extruded powder, this powder is a good solution for 30-06, 17 Remington, 250–3000 Savage, 308 Winchester, and 458 Winchester, to name just a few. It is amazingly accurate for every cartridge listed in our data.
