I've had great luck with IMR 4064 in my .308. Im going to give Varget a try when I run out of powder.

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.
