Reply With QuoteHi 43.5 will be a good load, and I like those Sierra's 60gr HPs it's 50 thou off the lands for me, I know all chambers are different I highly doubt you will see any pressure signs, I load 47gr in my loads.

(I tried to post this yesterday, so maybe it's on here somewhere. I can't find it.)
I've got a couple boxes of 60 gr Sierra varminter (hp) bullets that I'd to like to load up. I'm thinking of using varget (39.0 up to 43.5). Any suggestions?
I'm shooting a savage model 114 (American classic). I've worked up loads for 87 gr, still this gun is like new. Considering the ammo and reloading situation, I may as well use up some of the stuff on hand. I've got several other powders on hand, too.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
My sierra manual shows 43.0grs of varget as max.
I am sure it does, that is there max for liability, not necessarily your chamber max.Originally Posted by Gary paugh

I've always found sub-MOA loads in my 243, with bullets under 100gr, (not including 100gr,) could be had with H-414. Take a look at the on-line Hodgdon reloading data center at http://data.hodgdon.com/main_menu.asp and just walk thru the clicks until you get to the .243 data.
But then, don't ask me why I ever sold my .243. I'm still kicking myself over that one.

with the 60's i used 41 grains and bumped the lands. VERY accurate and does NASTY things to groundhogs :)
