H4895 in 6mm ARC

I’m in the process of gathering the required components to load for the 6 mm ARC .
I have a heap of H4895 and I’m struggling to find advice on what projectile weight would be best paired with the H4895 .
I realise that other powders are “ better “ in the ARC , but would like to use H4895 if possible.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
In a bolt gun or AR?
If in a bolt gun, I use 26.5gr with a 108 Berger btt, a 105 rdf, a 107 smk, or a 108 ELD for pretty good results. But that load is too hot for an AR. So back down from there.
 
Anything in the 105-108 range. 4895 might be a touch fast for heavier bullets.
 
I am using 4895 in my 6 Grendel with 105 Hybrids and it is awesome.

Varget was the winner in the accuracy dept, but I got to max pressure in a hurry.
 
H4895 might be a bit fast for heavies. Here are some QL predictions (ballpark suggestions; still rely on published load data)
