I think the OP saying it's opposite to what he expected pertains to the heavier bullet having a higher charge weight. Remember, you are comparing 2 different sources.
I don't have my Hornady book on hand so I can't check the OAL they used compared to Hodgdon. Most times you will find data with lower charges weights compared to another source are a result of a different OAL. Also, like said already, Hornady is very conservative with it's data.
If you're not happy with 4895 give 4064 a look see, it's a really good .308 powder. Varget is highly thought of also.
