IMR4198 AR problem

My powder measure does not like 4064!

That's right!.. You have to use the dippers, I just loaded 239 rds of Krag with IMR 4895 using the dipper. No one said this would be easy. Just fun...

Halleluiah! I took a magazine full of the 25.5 grn. 4064 55 loads into the woods to test fire. Function was 100%, bolt locks open after last shot, and hits same POI as the M193. Was about dead on POA/POI at 50 yeards. very nice shooting load, without excessive "snap" or jolt.

Even though it is a compressed load near max, there were no signs of excessive pressure on the cases and primers. No cratering of the firing pin, and just a touch of flattening on the softer Wolf primers. The CCI #41s had none whatsoever. I am HAPPY. I should have components (primers, bullets, & powder) to load about 1100 rounds, though I only have about 700 brass. I love it when something works right.

Excellent. And that makes the pain go away.

Ahhhh, just finished a featureless California M4gery build. I'll see if the remaining 175 rounds of 4198 loads will work in it! No more pulling.
