[QUOTE="RegionRat, post: 2954327, member: 57231"] I think we should mention that right now the bigger challenge with this project would be that H4895 is not going to be easy to find. In fact it will be very difficult to find and it is one of those rare powders that tolerates downloading. A low recoil gun in general will be easier to find than H4895. Just food for thought. Maybe something like a bolt action 7.62x39 (for cheaper factory ammo) or 300 BO (for sharing 30 cal bullets) or along those lines? In time, maybe the H4895 will come back around and you can ramp into downloading 30-06 again. I would ask Hodgdon if they expect it any time soon and base my plan on their input. If they say the youngster will be married with their own kids by the time H4895 shows up again, then I would run with a different caliber for this summer and revisit the whole 30-06 download concept again later. Kids don't stay with us for long, it goes in a blink of an eye. In any case, good on you for getting them started. [/QUOTE]
