44gn of Varget will get that bullet humming around 3400fps.

Is this your load? Because I can't find any published data that shows more than a 38gr charge.
Just rechecked "my" loads. it was 44gn of Varget for 3380fps. Shot well too.
I do not reference reloading manuals when I work up loads. I like to know what hterifle likes, not what some legal department determined as a place to stop. I have got the hang of it. If my rifle maxed out at 36 or 46, I would stop. 3400fps was a common velocity for htis bullet weight 30 or 40 years ago. Still works today.
Rifle was a Mark X Mauser with 24 inch barrel.
