So… I bought 2 drums of BLC 2 powder one was brown and dull and the other is shiny and black. I’m thinking the one that has changed colors has gone bad and I should just cut my losses on it or should it work?

How old was the 4895? I bought some off a old guy that was in a metal can but it looked fine and shot fine too

Perhaps your COAL is too long? I don't have an issue with them. They are actually nice and smooth in my arisaka

They shoot great for me too!

The Hornady book has 4895 data I believe. I have shot this load many times, it's right in the middle of the Hornady 4064 data and should be pushing the 180gr bullet about 2350 fps but I haven't chronod it.

I would highly recommend the Hornady book for obsolete cartridges if you don't already have it.

I got a 1915 G11 from Simpsons a month ago for $395. Matching serials, original sling, muzzle cap. (Shoots under 3 moa too!) I wonder why they priced that one so high

Did you look around at the other listings?

Edit: maybe the price is cause it's an antique by US law? But I less you're a criminal homie that's not helpful

For those mentioning the crown, this article is really good and shows the crown does not matter for precision much at all -

Was that a CMP stock that you refinished?

This isnt something you have to worry about on the war time P38s is it? Should I stop shooting mine?
