Well did some load testing sunday afternoon
best group was 1.125" with 80GR Nosler Custom Comps @ 2650fps
get to do some more loading and playing with that bullet.
I was able to get the 75gr Amax up to 2850fps with 25gr Varget and not flattening the primers yet so im goin to keep goin to see what happens.
Boy this is fun

i tried IMR 4064 with every 308 bullet/primer combo i could and didnt do worth a flip for me. Varget was the only one that did MOA at 600yds in 308. Im hoping i can find a good load soon for this 223.

poly 3 or 5, 1-8 twist? Seems like your kinda set on Varget. But I have found BHW barrels to work better with faster burning powders. Like my 6x45 really like AA2015 with 70-87 grain bullets...

I'm loading for a buddy with a 20" poly three 5.56 and he is getting .5" or less with Benchmark. What the 4895 shoot like? That's a little faster burning.
