AA2495 & 8x57

[Mebsuta]

Does anyone have a manual that shows data for AA2495 in 8x57 with 150 Spitzer? None of my books do. I think it pretty much duplicates IMR4895 but want to be sure. Thanks.

Accurate has a downloadable manual online. They don't list 2495 under 8x57 though.
I think you're right in assuming AA2495 is pretty much the same as 4895.

Mebsuta,

Hornady #6 shows AA2495...

Here is what they list for H4895 (not IMR4895):

41.9 (2400fps), 44.0 (2500fps), 46.1 (2600fps), 48.2 (2700fps), and 50.4 (2800fps(MAX LOAD))...

Here is what they list for AA2495:

43.1 (2400fps), 45.2 (2500fps), 47.2 (2600fps), 49.2 (2700fps), and 51.2 (2800fps(MAX LOAD))...

Fired in a Mauser M98 with 24 inch barrel using their 150gr Spire point #3232 bullet (flat base), COL 2.975"...

Unfortunately, they don't show IMR4895 for this load...

From the load data presented, the AA2495 is identical to IMR4064 (at least the two lots that they used for their load data development)...

For what it's worth...

Have fun...
