i don't remember the source, but I think it was online data from Barnes. I'm not one to push the envelope, so there was some trusted data somewhere that supported 45 grains of Varget.


I did the same for a Marlin XS7 a few years back. Worked up to 45 gr in RP case with COAL of 2.800". Shot around 3/4 MOA and no pressure signs. Didn't have a chrono at the time so unsure of velocity.
