Okay....80gr ELD and H4895 is looking like a pretty good combo

Playing with seating depths to get groups as tight as possible but with a 20” barrel:
2.28” 2.27” 2.26”
24.4gr: 2908 - 2923 - 2939fps
24.5gr: 2947 - n/a - n/a
24.6gr: 2954 - n/a - 2956fps
24.8gr. n/a - n/a - 2971fps


With 88gr ELD / Varget, 23.6-23.8gr and seating depth dependent is pushing 2675fps-2715fps


The numbers are looking better in reality vs on paper. Going to load up some more 80ELD for a retest and see if I can duplicate it.

Will also be slinging some 90SMK; researching which powder to use. I’ve got 30pcs of Hornady brass to use for it but I’ve heard the Hornady primer pockets are junk
