Latest Hornady book shows max charge of Varget with 155 grain bullets is 44.9gr. Hodgdon website lists 47.0grs. max. Which set of data do you go with, The powder mfg or a long time cartridge mfg?
I shot some test loads, 5 of each, at 42, 43, and 44 grains of powder and they all shot 3-5 inches lower than cheap factory ammo.
Should I trust the Hodgdon data and start my next batch near max from the hornady book and go up?
