[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3739636, member: 48072"] Hornady dies should do you well. I have some H4895 loads as well for one of my .308 pig rifles, and it shoots sub-MOA with both the 130gr TTSX and 150gr SST. I use that powder there due to its temperature stability as I might be using it in a 25 degree winter night or a 85 degree summer night. IMR-4895 and H100V are more sensitive to temperature changes, but the work around is that I do load development during weather similar to hunting season (Jan - Mar). My IMR-4895 load is on the cardboard target...38.8gr under a 120gr NBT. I've had decent luck with that exact bullet in hogs out of my 6.5 Grendel, but I think that the bullet might come apart too quick on a shoulder/quartering shot on a deer when pushed another 400 FOS faster to make me comfortable. My H100V load is 41.6gr under the 129 SST. That bullet is a little more finicky in my rifle, but it definitely has a node there. I shot a second group with that load later in bad weather and was still under 3/4 MOA, and put another four shots into a 1 MOA group at 250 yards. *seating depth with secant ogives has as much to do with accuracy as charge weights*. Here's that target during load development. 41.6 gave me .365" for four shots then, and a .7 something when I confirmed it in bad weather. I didn't like how it consistently put one shot low and right, but it didn't seem to matter at 250. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220221_164443.jpg"]257445[/ATTACH] 250 target. It was fired the same day under the same conditions. I shoot from my shop which has my reloading bench in it, so tweaking and confirmation take very little time.
