I am going to try using imr 4895 with a 155gr bullet and I was just wondering if anyone had tried this combo before. Thanks for any advise.

Nosler j4 competition just for range time.I loaded 20 ronds at 41gr and i went to the range to day thay shot about a inch group at 100 yards.My old load is imr 4064 at 44gr was about the same but the 41gr of 4895 was 5 inchs high this load is 100 f.p.s. slower why is it higher. thanks.

The reson itshigheris beacuse the recoil raises the muzzle, just a little higher before the bullet clears the barrel. TRY RL15 It works for the millitary snipers and I bet it works for you too ! ...tj3006

My three "go to" powders for .308 are RL 15, Varget, and Ramshot TAC, in no particular order for bolt guns. 4895 is really safe in Gas guns where you want the port pressure in a certain pressure window to avoid beating the gun apart.
