Whats the closest load to this round.

I just ran a bunch of black hills armory match brass with 39.5 gr of imr4895 and 175 smk and they shot like a dream. Id like to get a load similar to the military round anyone have anything that works particularly well or a good load for a 1:11 20 inch barrel?

39.5 of 4895 sounds low.. Starting for H4895 (not the same, but very similar loads) is 42 I thought.. time to go prove myself wrong again lol.

EDIT -

I was wrong, starting is 41 for IMR, 40 for H4895 according to hodgdon with a 175 projectile.. I was thinking 168's.

i went by the load data in my nosler book which said with match brass the 39.5 was most accurate.

Those are best guesses.. If you do a ladder test, you might be surprized at how far off that is from the load your rifle prefers.
