Thanks

Thanks guys for your comments.

I made some changes which really changes everything, now. My Dad had 2 lbs. of IMR-4895. Since I was out of Varget I worked up some loads using his powder.

3 loads each using IMR-4895 with 41.5gr, 42.5gr, 43.5gr, 44.5,gr and 45.5gr. All at 2.800 COL. The amazing results were clearly with the three rounds weighing in at the 44.5gr. It was even better than Varget. But I sacrifice cleanliness. IMR-4895 burns a little dirty!.

Thanks again guys.

I'm now toying around with the COL. I chambered a dummy round with a snug - but moveable bullet. It measured 2.829". So I'm off to the range with some 308's with a col of 2.804.

How far away should I stay away from the lands? Is .015" too far away still?
