I've never tried 4895 for .223. My first foray into reloading this caliber was:
once fired Lake City brass
69 gr Sierra HPBTM
24.5 to 26.0 gr WW 748 (in 0.2 gr increments) and WW small rifle primers
I used 55 gr PMC factory loads as my "base-line" for accuracy as they were consistent and shot 1.5-1.75" groups at 100 yards off the bench. My best group with these loads didn't go less than ~3.5-4.0". Needless to say, I abandoned this quickly. I'm trying Varget next.
Noticed an guy on Craigslist had just what you want, and they were $50/1000 pre-election. Post-election they went to $100, then $125 a couple of weeks ago, and now they're gone. The frenzy continues.
I just picked up 2500 pieces of LC brass dirty and with spent primers for $100. Now I need some primers, powder, and bullets. Anyone have anything to spare?
I do indeed feel like I picked a terrible time to start reloading. I managed to grab 200 pieces of starline 45acp from cabelas last week.

You'll need to remove the primer crimp before reloading. Might want to tumble them as well. Apologies if you've done this before and it isn't news to you .
Where did you find that deal?
Help you cut to the chase with Sierra 69 BTHP with Varget; Max is 26.1 out of AR, my samples range from 24.0 - 25.5, groups sucked out of 16" 1-9 twist so slowed them down to 23.0 & 23.5. The 23.0 of Varget with Sierra 69's BTHP was the magic load while Nosler 69 BTHP's printed 1/4" tighter than Sierra's. So had to slow them down out of my tube vs. spinning them faster to obtain MOA groups @ 100.

I have some surplus large rifle primers. I would still be looking foe 223 brass.
