[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 924636, member: 61747"] I took 80 pieces, annealed, body sized, and neck sized to .223. All chambered well. Re-tested H4895 and H4198. 28 grs 4895 was 3961 and bolt lift a little tight. Max. Backed off to 27.7 and it shows to be in the 3870-3900 range 25 grs 4198 3900 and also max. backed off to 24.7 and it is 3870ish. Might need to go to 24.5 and 3850ish. All the bullets in this range of 3850-3900 hit within .25. I think I will be able to find a good accurate load easily with these two powders. I need to re-test Super, Varget, Benchmark, and BLC2. Super at 29 grs will run 3780 and in the past 32 was max. So I would like to re-test and see how it does. [/QUOTE]
