does wnyone have a barnes manual? my lyman manual does not list this bullet. i read one in the store once and thought it said 24.5gr for varget as a max load but i am unsure right now. i don't want to buy a new manual for one load.

The book does state that 24.5 is the max load for varget....it also states you need at least an 8" twist to make it work which I guess is fairly common in 223's
