Either 4895 is amazingly versatile. They are not quite the same powder, and have slightly different characteristics, but are very close.

4895 is an excellent choice for a gas semi-auto in 30-06, but it is a bit slow for the same kind of gun in 223. The pressure would be still a bit too high when the bullet reaches the gas port. I'd pick a faster powder for a gas 223.
