Anyone have any data on them yet. I'm hoping h4895 will work as I saw others having success with it in the other thread. Trying to save the last of my varget for the 308. I figured before I rebarrel my 9 twist I would give them a go.
 
Don't leave out the Berger 70vld. H4895 should work fine. A lot of guys use Varget and XBR and H4895 is right between them so it will work. My 9twist 22 is a 22-250ai and I haven't found anything close to as consistent as the 70 Berger for that one
 
My goal for this rifle was cheaper to shoot than 260 and also as a varmint/predator rifle. For these reasons I guess I never really looked at the Bergers. I just picked up 1k of the nosler seconds to try pretty cheap. I also have 1k hornady 75 bthps and 500 amaxes squirreled away. So far I have just shot fireform 53 vmax and 65 gamekings with fairly good results.
