I loaded it behind some 139grn Interlocks in 7mm-HT and 165grn Scirocco II's in .308. I was surprised at the velocities I was getting in both calibers. I've mostly used Varget so far and the H4895 was pretty zippy by comparison. My groups weren't great. Both test batches came out with a couple 5 shot groups about 1.5 MOA. I've hunted with factory ammo about that accurate, but still, not what I got into hand loading for. But I was surprised by the speed. I figured I'd get higher MVs with Varget since its a slower burning powder. I guess these powders have different qualities besides just burn rate but that's the one I always think about.
Both those rifles seem to like Accubonds in different loads. I'm going to try ABs with the H4895 next time I get some time.
