I am running a 1:8 Criterion Remage barrel with right at 2K rounds. After my load development with the 85.5 I came up that 24.5 Varget with Lapua brass, BR-4 primers with COAL of 2.570 was a solid load. Clocking in around 2785.

I tried to develop a load with H4895 and did have a very narrow node at 24.0 with FPS 2870 but none of the groups with H4895 looked like my groups with Varget, even the bad Varget loads.

I have a couple of threads of my test results over on accurateshooter.com
