Yes, 4895 one of the best. (Prefer Norma #202 if it can be found)
My No 5 would shoot into about 2 1/2" -3" at 100 yards when I had it. And, it had wonky rifling! Too loud though, but kick was tamer with a regular No 4 buttstock fitted. Does it cycle well with the 215 gr?

4895 is a fine powder for 180 gr loads.

Shamu, and other members, what did you think of my powder load selection for the 180 Pro Hunters? By the books, maybe 2150-2200 ft/sec. I've always only loaded and shot 150 Pro Hunter. I have shot 180's that somebody else has reloaded.

Yup! Even those 180 kksp's had my thumb knuckle bumping my nose! Buddy couldn't believe how loud the carbine was! If I can get a decent group (4" would be nice) at 50 yds thru battle sites, it will definitely be my "push bush" for T-Rex rifle!

Hey people. Just finished leading a bunch of rounds. Made 10 of those CIL 215's to try out in the No5. I used Goosics dimensions but used 37.5 gr of H335. Loaded 10 Sierra Pro Hunter 180's with 38 gr of H4895, and 10 with 39 gr of the same. I'll try those 180's in my Sniper clone and see how she likes them! This is the load I'm working on to shoot out of my No4 Mk1 with the Bishop stock in case I get drawn for elk this fall.
