Hi all,

New user with a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06.
I'm looking for load data for the Nosler 155 gr competition bullet with Varget powder. The Hodgdon site & reloading manual calls for a min 0f 48 gr & max of 50.7 gr.
I'm using dippers until I buy a scale. The Lee dipper chart has a mild load of 46.5 gr for Varget powder. I loaded some at 46.5 grains, which is a light load.
Does anyone have any load data for this combo of powder and bullet?

Thanks,

TPD211

tpd211, Welcome to Hunting Nut !!! Howdy

I checked Noslers #6 manual and they do not list Varget as a choice with the 155 bullet.
Sorry I can’t be of any help.

Hi...Welcome to the best Campsite on the internet. Do pull up a stump and get one of Vince's beers and stay a while.

Sierra Vth Edition shows a 155 grain HPBT Palma MatchKing using Varget powder. Didn't look up the Nosler profile, but Sierra lists a starting charge at 44.6 grains to 51.5 grains...
