IMR 4895 Smokeless Gun Powder

Looking for IMR 4895 powder? Production of IMR powders dates back over 200 years, originally founded by E.I. DuPont — a legacy of trust reloaders around the world still rely on today. IMR 4895 is one of the brand’s most versatile powders, originally a military powder used in the .30-06.

That versatility carries through to today’s reloaders: IMR 4895 powder delivers excellent accuracy and performance across an unusually wide range of cartridges, from .17 Remington to .243 Winchester to .375 H&H Magnum — a real advantage if you load more than one caliber and want fewer powders on your bench. It’s also a longtime favourite among competitive match shooters who need genuine, repeatable consistency.

As always, never exceed the loads displayed in your reloading guide, never mix two powders regardless of type or brand, and never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or a black powder substitute.

If you’re loading .223 Remington-specific applications instead, our IMR 4198 may be a better fit, or for magnum pistol loads, check out IMR 4227.
