IMR 4955 Load Data

[Mark A Ouellette]

Does anyone have any load data for the new temperature stable IMR 4955 for .375 H&H and larger cartridges?

Hodgdon site is best for that. The 4955 will be too slow-burning for the 375 H&H. with maybe the exception of 350 grain although case volume may come into play. I have gotten good velocities with 4955 including 208/210 grain 30/06 loads. Looking at the loads versus velocity...4955 is appealing.

Thanks Dr. Bob,
Hodgdon lists IMR 4955 loads for 416 Rigby and 500 Nitro, neither of which I have guns for.
I have .375 H&H, .416 Rem, .416 Taylor, .458 Lott, and a .450 Rigby. 8 lbs of 4955 followed me home yesterday because the price was far to good. Maybe I need another rifle to go with this powder!

450 Rigby with 550 grain ...but I totally agree... having that powder sit there and not have a suitable rifle to use it ...is terrible. The 450 Rigby needs its sibling!
