33gr of D4198, 215M primer shot a 1-hole 3 round group in 9.3x72R with 200gr GC PC out of my drilling, not sure how useful that is

Tried D4198 too in 7.62x54R with 208gr GC PC and 8x56R Hungarian with 220gr GC PC, 43gr in both I think, slight hang-fire and smoky. Will retry seated deeper, with a magnum primer and crimp. Didn't expect these to work well at all but pretty decent.

I picked up 4895 to replace varget. Supposed to see it on Thursday. But who knows. (Stupid shipping delays)

If 4895 is performing like varget I'm gonna need to order a bunch varget prices are out of this world

are you using Imr 4895 data or Varget Data ? which is very close to each other

and
Why do you say it is performing like varget ?

Thanks

Last years D4895 loads very similar to Varget in a 308 win for me. I'm not sure if this latest batch is the same.

Sorry I said IF, but I haven't had time to load anything yet. But I'd likely use IMR data.
