No idea. But it is one of the only rifle powders generally approved by the manufacturer to download to 60% of max safely.

Haven’t heard of the Mark 9. Maybe in a few more decades.

This is definitely not published but you might also look into "the load" and try Unique or Red Dot reduced loads if you're using lead bullets. The Load is supposedly good for only .30 caliber service-type cartridges but it might be fun to figure it out for the 6.5. I load reduced-power loads...

Find some H4895 if you can

Nice. OP may I ask what you paid?

Do you own one? The OP asked for feedback from owners. Mine works fine. Shoots as well as my 1960’s Single Six. Doesn’t FEEL as nice but it’s a $270 gun. https://youtu.be/t-ibG9D8o4s?si=uVRWYH4v0CV78e9F

The 1851 was in .36. The “navy caliber.” The Paterson was offered in a couple optional calibers including .28, .31, and .36 but the 1851 or “belt revolver of Navy caliber” was always .36 as far as I know. That’s not to say that post cartridge smiths may not have converted some into .41 rimfire...

Effectively yes but I pieced it together myself a decade before they were doing that. It’s a 590 (non A1) “Marinecote” that came with black plastic furniture. I ordered the optional heat shield kit and installed it, and then ordered wooden corncob furniture from a supplier that had a few sets...

lol that’s an understatement

Where did you read that? The first versions of the pistol didn’t have thumb safeties. It was DESIGNED to be carried chambered with the hammer down, and thumb cocked for the first shot. This is not the preferred method today for many reasons.

Load sounds pretty light to me.
