40gr 223 and H4895

[Rayf01]

Anyone loaded 40gr .223 with H4895?

I have some Hornady Vmax in 40 gr. I can't find a ton of data however I found two sites (Shooters Reference and PowderThrough) that both list a 40Gr Nosler with a max of 27.5 gr of H4895.

That 27.5 load must fill the case to the top,I've used imr 4895 but not h4895,mind you the 40 vmax is stubby.so only used benchmark, 335,viht 133 on the nosler 40's.i should say i also used varget on 40 nosler vg.but found it unsatisfactory compared to the 3 other powders.it worked though.just checked nosler site and they don't have data for h4895 until you get to the 60 gainers.

Thanks for the edit. Also the Hodgdonreloading site shows the same data for the 40 Gr Nosler. If I use 26-27 gr, would it matter using a 40 gr Hornady Vmax bullet vs the Nosler?

Not sure of the scientific way to describe it,but it does matter,how much I'm not sure,but I have seen wide swings in recommended charge weights for same weight bullet and different manufacturer.different pressure for different length and bt vs fb etc.so keep digging.
