Subject: Does anyone load up 150 grain bullets?

40 grains of IMR 4895 should be a nice relatively light load for a 150 gr bullet. Hodgdon lists 44.2 gr as Maximum at 46,600 psi (piezo peak pressure).

It’s been a while since I’ve shot 150’s, I could never quite get the accuracy that I get with Sierra 174 MatchKings. But, for hunting applications, that 150 bullet should do very well, and shoot relatively flat out to 300 yds.
Hodgdon lists the same max charge of H4895 at 40.0 gr, 43,600 CUP as does ADI for AR2206H. H4895 and IMR 4895 are not interchangeable.
