    ddhotbot,

    It's an excellent powder for the .308 Win. with bullet weights up to and including the Berger 210 gr. VLD. It burns clean, maintains consistent velocities and fills the case full or nearly so, with all bullet weights when seated to 2.800" overall length.

    Best.

    Anywhere you might use 4895, you can use AA2495. Actual load charges might vary a smidge, but it fits the application.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    That case is excellent for lighter bullets in each bullet diameter it comes in. We used to have great success with the .243 shooting 70 gr. bullets. I would imagine your best bet is shooting the lighter end bullets, i.e. 125's, 130's, 145's, 150's and up to 155's. It will certainly work with the heavier bullets as well. But, from 165 and up I would suggest going with 4350 speed powder.
