I use it in .308 and it's excellent stuff. I think it closely rivals Varget.

I use it in my 308's and 243's. IMR 4895 is reducing slightly better groups, with minimal testing time so far, in higher temperatures. I haven't had enough time to get to the range to do some proper testing in a while.
I am continuing to use the 4166 because all of my loads j have developed so far are under 1MOA. Still not the groups I want but it's a good start.

When it first came out a couple of years ago, I tested it side-by-side with Varget in a 308 and could find no difference in group size. Never chrony’d it so can’t speak to that comparison. I currently run it in some 6 Dashers and with my deer load it pushes a 95 gr bullet to 3030 FPS.

Default 4166 imr

Found the powder meters reasonably well. The standard deviation was extremely low in my 22-250. Can't wait to try it in my 204 Ruger I doubt it will be more accurate then benchmark. Should be fun trying
