[QUOTE="tdking, post: 2750901, member: 1162"] IMR 4895 was the powder that the military loaded in National Match 308 ammo back when everyone shot M-14s and M-1As in NRA highpower competition (prior to 1995). My standard load for my M-1A was 40.5 grains of 4895 behind a 168 Sierra Matchking in a commercial case, 39.5 grains in military cases. The old saw goes "If your 308 won't shoot 40.5 grains of 4895 behind a 168 Sierra Matchking, then there is something wrong with the gun!" I have shot some of the same loads in my AR-10 with good accuracy. TDK [/QUOTE]
