I tried it in my Featherweight. Velocities were lower than expected but the accuracy was tremendous.
130gn Barnes TTSX
58gn VARGET 3100 Mild
59gn VARGET 3167 2896FPE
60gn VARGET 3188 .5 Good Load

Jesus, Mary and Joseph! You have to be pushing them in something other than a 30-06! 53 Varget gives me 3100-3150. This has to be for something other than an '06 An AI '06 maybe? 60 grains of Varget under a 130 might well disassemble a lot of guns.
I don't hit 60 grains until I get to my 300 WM
Nope,
My Featherweight has a sloppy chamber. If I load 130gn SpeerHP's over 58gn of VARGET, it will punch 5 of them into .9MOA. The rifle also likes 760 and I have often used as much as 64 grains with a range of 150gn bullets for a velocity around 3080fps and very sub MOA groups. Some batches I drop to 62grains for the same velocities but I recheck every batch of powder I load.
Even with the 4350's it can easily digest 60 grains with 180's and some batches of powder will go to 61 grains and the cases still fall out of the chamber and leave round primers.
The important factor is the velocities are standard range, which confirms the lack of "excessive" pressure that the charges may indicate.
