I use IMR 4895 in place of R5 as Raimey does with VV N140. Out of habit, I reduce the load and work back up. Many of these old Metric cartridges were loaded with R5 and it is very handy to have a substitute. Now, if someone could find a substitute for 1912 and 1919 powder we would be in good shape. BTW, 2.350" does correspond to 60mm case length rather than the expected 71mm.
