I agree with this. The lot to lot variation is bad and it is temp sensitive. I have a bunch of Varget so I’m going to try it on the next barrel when the 4895 is gone. 4895 seems more popular with the bench crowd.
29.1 grains 4895
Berger 109 at 25k jump
CCI 450 primer
Bartlein 28 inch barrel
Lapua brass
I have used about 8 pounds of this lot of 4895 and it is faster than the other lots I have used. Seems to be a lot of variation lot to lot in it
I used to chase speed. The load I have used for this barrel is pushing a 109 Berger around 2820, basically BR speeds. I can see more trace and less recoil at matches. It’s just a nice soft load to shoot.
