I run the Hornady or Speer interchangable with Varget. The book max is only 55gr but I took it a bit higher until I hit 2500fps and called it good. I actually worked up to 2600fps and still had no pressure signs with Varget but did not not want to think about what the pressures could be. Also in the whelen I dont think 100fps either way is going to alter results.

Hunt hard, kill clean, waste nothing and offer no apologies.
