i have 100 rounds of cast bullets .35 (brinell 15) in both 194 and 213 grains and have 10 pounds of IMR 4895 not H 4895. i found this load in a handloaders magazine for a 200 grain round nose (i suspect this is for a jacketed bullet). they only show MAX 36.5gr. @2050. can i use 10 percent less safely for both bullet weights.

for compairison they have H 4895 Min 35gr. @1920 and Max 38.5@ 2110

thanks
joe

I have shot a few IMR 4895 loads with 32 grains and a Lyman 200 gr. bullet with no problems. I do get better accuracy with the W/W 748 loads. They seem to work as good on deer as the factory jacketed bullets and will shoot into about 3" at 100 yards.
