Congratulations!  4125 at 20' is much faster than I anticipated.  And .33" is a great group.  Where did you get the load data from?  I haven't seen any data with 4198.  Hope I get similar results with mine when it comes in from Bullberry.  I'm hoping I can work up a load with H335 being that's what I load in my 223's and I have 12-14 pounds of the stuff.
