6mm ARC " " my personal favorite

22 - 250 " "

350 legend

Of these, the .223 and the 7.62x39. Of the ones you didn't list, the 308 with reduced loads using H4895.

I can't argue much with this but there are much better powders than 4895 for downloading 308 and others. 4895 just happens to be the one they have tested. 3031 and 4227 as well as 4198 work very nicely in the 308 and others and don't leave as much or any unburned powder like 4895 does.
Take care,
