[QUOTE="alaska, post: 371049, member: 23096"] In the 308 Win for years back in the 80's and 90's Palma Match IMR 4895 was the powder to beat. The new then Reloader 15 was a contender.... Still a excellent powder for the 308 win 1992 Palma records - IMR4895 was the powder of choice for most folks. Charge weights varied from 44.3 to 45 grains with the 155 MK. Some folks threw charges direct from measures; others weighed every charge to a +/- .05-gr. spread. Interestingly enough, the powder lots had varying degrees of fouling. That's not surprising as IMR4895 is one of the `dirtier' powders on the market. Most folks didn't clean their barrels during the day on the range. Others drybrushed after each, or every other 15- or 20-shot stage. Many of the top scores were shot using IMR4895. A good load is IMR 4895 @ 43.6 with 168 Sierra MK and Fed 210M in FC brass. This will duplicate the Federal Gold Medal Match load @ 2600 FPS. [/QUOTE]
