I am looking for load data for USGI pulldown 145 grain orange tip .30 cal tracer? Will be loading with IMR 4895. Right now I am loading with 47 grains but that seems mild. Thank you.

That is indeed a slightly mild load IF you are loading for .30-06. Have no idea if it is the .308.
Sierra lists 50.4 as max for 150 grain bullet. I use 49 for the 150 grain, and it shoots well in both M1 and 03.
Load for the bullet weight. However, a 145 grain tracer bullet came out of a 7.62NATO, as I recall.
Twinson,
49.0gr of IMR4895 will work just fine.
