I agree with 454bore both the 95 TMK and 95 HPBT are going to be hard to beat. The testing I've done and matches shot with both are proving that 90-95 grain bullets are working the best at least for what I'm doing and my barrel 20" length with the 6mm Grendel. Sierra 95 HPBT, H4895 is my control load (match load), the one I'm trying to better at this point in time.
454 the velocity 2850 fps you are getting with 28.5 grains of H4895 is interesting, you have a 26" barrel correct? I got 2736 with 27.5 H4895 out of a 20" barrel. Doing the roughly 25 fps per inch of barrel difference, food for thought. Shows we are writing our own data book for our individual barrels. More than likely difference in reamers, powder, primers, ect.
The Sierra 95 HPBT have a very small meplat almost closed and tend to run a few bucks less, try them. Just got another box of those and Berger 90 BT Target, testing continues always to beat the control load
