Tested 43.5grs H4895 in LC 06 brass, WLR primer and 150 Hornady SP, happy to report there were no signs of high pressure, primer looked perfect, no sticky bolt.
Short report on H4895 in 308 LC brass shooting 150s.

I think you are just a little low still for an 06. Somewhere around 45 ~ 47gr from my past experiences where I ended up. My Garand runs 45.5 well with the 155's. I double checked the Hodgdon site, up to 51gr for most bullets in the 150gr wt but I'm assuming that's for bolt-guns mostly.
But this is for a 308, I did load these with 43grs H4895 since the rifle that these will be shot from is a Browning BLR, should give the user some good shooting.

JGorski,
it's crazy how coincidental the accuracy node of this powder is to AR-Comp
with 150s i got good groups at 43.5gr and at 44.7 per my notes.
This was out of a 20" 1:10 twist LR-308.
Sorry for teh diversion in topic, but w powder scarcity, it's good to have alternatives w known charge weights.
