Load data request for IMR 4955 For .25-06 with 110 gr ELD-X

[Eric Musgrove]

I have been on every manufacture's website looking and they are not much help with this combo. Does anyone have a new manual that happens to list this combo?

TIA
Eric

following. I have a lot of this powder and haven't even started loads yet on it

All I can find are loads using the faster burning Enduron IMR4451 in 25-06. It's supposed to be similar to H4831

Same here, I was hoping to also use it for my .270 with 145 gr ELD-X and that it would be a good substitute for my H4831sc so I don't burn it all up.

QL shows a max of 56 grains. Details attached. I had once planned on testing 4955 but didn't want to invest the time in a powder that has been discontinued. Been there, done that.

Got out and did a second round of testing, looks like max for me at COL of 3.290 (.020 off) is about 54.0 at around 3235 FPS, going back to test 53.5, 53.7 and 53.9 (53.5 shot a nice group on the first test at 3200 fps average.
Now I need to work up the .270 with the 145 ELD-X would you be willing to plug that in and share the data?

Tried IMR 4955 in 30-06 & 6.5 Swede. Worked good until it didn't, pressure spikes on the top end come on fast and hard!
