I was playing with IMR 4895 the other evening. I loaded 42,43, 43.5, 44. My rifle is a Tikka T-3 308 Win with a 20 inch tube.
Bullets were 165 grain Hornady SP to OAL of 2.80.

I don't own a chronograph but here are the accuracy results. This little rifle will really shoot. Results are the average of 2 x 3 shot groups.

42 grains 0.54 inch
43 grains 0.39 inch
43.5 grains 0.585 inch
44 grains 1.10 inch

I let the barrel cool for five minutes between each group. Started with a clean bore and no cleanings afterwards. Just got some Varget and am going to try and work up a load with the same bullet (my favorite hunting bullet).
