Anyone Using H4895 in .223 w/80 gr Bullets

First off, I am not looking for loads for any other bullet weights, just the 80 gr range of bullets, specifically the 80 and 82 gr Bergers.

So has anyone used H4895 or IMR 4895 with 80 gr bullets, and I suppose I should include IMR 4064 in the query. I should mention that I prefer to stick with single base stick powders as they tend to behave a little better, or at least misbehave in a more consistant manner most the time.
 
I used to use Reloader 15 and or varget for 80 grainers. 23.5 grain RL15 was real consistent in my service rifle. H4895 or IMR4895 should give similar results.
 
Switched from RL15 to H4895 for 80 gr .223s. Don`t have to compress the H4895 to get the velocity I want out of my 30 inch 8 twist barrel. AMax jackets are so thin they deform when seated over a compressed load. Also H4895 is cleaner burning.
