H4895 works well for me for accuracy with 165gr Partitions, though I use a milder load. Just start low and work your way up looking for a sweet spot.

Has the added benefit of being pretty insensitive to temperatures. So whether it's 0 or 60, it'll shoot pretty much the same. And either is possible in Nebraska for mid-November. grin


One thing I've noticed is that most reloading manuals just repeat Hodgdon's min/max loads of H4895 to be 35/38 grains and a max of about 2340fps. Except, Hornady shows a max of 41.3 and 2600fps. Considering those are 308 velocities, anybody tried it? I've never seen pressure signs at 38gr, but I've always stopped there.
