Try from 46.0 to 47.5 gr of Varget with Winchester brass. I seat them at 0.020" from the lands which is a COAL of about 2.925" in my son's factory sporter barrel. 47.0 gr is right at 2850 fps in his 24" barrel. Sub-1" at 100 all day long.
I know this is higher than some load tables list as max loads. But the Hodgdon site goes to 47.5 gr as a compressed load.
Luck, Tim
