Hi Everybody-

I walked into a local gunshop and was perusing their .224 bullet selection. A box of 100 40Gn VMax caught my eye. I've got loads for 55Gn. VMax and Hornady SP, 50Gn VMax and ZMax (ZMax, from what I hear, is a green tipped VMax). All shoot VERY well using Win 748 propellant.

I understand that lots of the reloading manuals dropped 748 loads off of their lighter bullet selections due to it being a slow burning powder. (I can find peoples "pet" loads on the internet, but, no offense to anyone, I'd like to know the safe start and max loads according to a bona fide reloader's manual)

I LIKE WIN 748! I have Varget and H335, and slightly less than 1 lb of 8208 XBR. Still...I'd like to try Win 748. Plus I have a goodly amount of 748.

Would anyone share start and max loads they may have in an older manual for 40Gn. VMax (or similar) using Win 748? I'd appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Brian
