Searched here and at Hogdon.
I found some H4895 in the shop. Ive never used it before. I use Varget only for my 308 with 178 AMAX. Im out of Varget and Id like to work up a load for my new Ruger SR762 with H4895, 168 AMAX, CCI primers. My Lyman manual has no data on 308/ H4895. Any help is appreciated |

Stuff is depressing slow. Thats just because its Hornady data. Their book loads tend to be lighter than Sierra, Lyman, etc... |
 Ok then
What twist barrel? Have you chronoed these? Thanks for the inspiration |

OP,
H4895 is my favorite powder. The data above is way slow. For 175 SMK my old F-class load was 41.8gr, CCI primer, and it .5moa or better all day at 2640fps out of a 26in barrel. My match load these days is a lot faster with a 175 Berger out of a 30in barrel. ~2900fps with H4895, i shoot this out to 1k yds. You won't be disappointed with this powder. SY |

Wish I could find some H4895, I use it in 8mm Mauser, 7.62x54R and 30-06. I haven't been able to get any in well over a year. I've played with it a little in 308 but don't really have an established load in that caliber. its been thin. I found a bunch about 6 months ago and bought as much as they'd let me. |

All out of those now. H4895 is a great powder. As good as Varget. Very underrated on this forum. |

Calling or emailing Sierra is always an option, they have a full time staff just for that job. You can also take a look at Hodgon's online data for H4895 and use the data for a similar bullet if the MK is not listed. Hornady started using piezo pressure measurement a few years back and backed their load data way down as a result. But here's the thing to consider, their old crusher data wasn't blowing up rifles. |
