It's funny that you mention port pressure. I'm thinking, could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time, that the NM piston relieves more port pressure than stock GI and that's why I get better accuracy with Varget and 168 grainers. If my thinking is rite, and I switched to a stock GI piston and shot 150 grainers I'd get better accuracy with 4895?

Just send me the Varget. My bolt gun loves 44.6grns under a 168SMK GI2. Being new to the world of the service rifle I'm burning 4895 in my M1A. There are generations of shooters that this has served well, the one thing I learned shooting bolt guns there is really no need to reinvent the wheel.
