In my rifle 26.2 of H4895 works very well with the 40 Gr Berger.. It is not max, by Hodgdon's book, but close, so work up. Bill K

I have run 27.6grs of H4895 with the 40gr Berger in my CZ and accuracy was great. This is just about max in my rifle.

rugermk2--I don't shoot the 40 gr. Bergers and I know my 40 gr. V-Max bullet is way different than the 40 gr. Berger, but when I shoot the 40 gr. V-Max in my Savage 12VLP I use 27.2 gr. of H4895 and the Remington 7½ primers. I'm using WW brass in this rifle. The barrel is a 1 in 11 twist three groove Pac-Nor and is about 25 inches long. Muzzle velocity with this load is 3,841 fps.
