Well I have never loaded a round with a bullet weight less than 69 grains. Saturday though, I was in the pits next to a bud High Master and was talking about bullets. He had had excellent results with those 52 ish grain varmit bullets and H4895. Since 4895 and H4895 are similiar, but not identical, you should get excellent results with your IMR 4895.

I believe I got excellent results with 69's between 24.0 and 24.5 grains IMR 4895. I would say, in you gas gun. start at 24.0 and see what happens. I don't think you should attempt to load more than 25.0 grains. Should shoot great.
