I have never used IMR 4895 in a hunting round, any concerns there? I have since acquired some Varget and H4895, but with the way supplies are I'd like to save those for other guns, and shoot the IMR until it runs out.
4895 is my go to powder got everything from my .223 irobs match rifles .303, 408 match riflrs, 280 Remingtons, 8.15x46R schuetzen, 9.3x72R drilling, 40/65 , and so on!
