Never pushed a 168 this quick, use 168s for my M1a and 175s for my 700s, however...

can any one give a relative estimate for velocity with 45.0 gr of Varget and a 168 Gr HPBT out of a 1:12 26 inch barrel,,,

I undestand this is an estimate only..
 
my question to you is: how did you come up with that recipe without having a manual? crystal ball?

It was a guess I guess at all my loads and hope for the best....

As I am sure you know most manuals are out 5%-7% on velocity. I am looking more specificly for real data that guys have chronied, from different 26 inch pipes.

This is a standard load used by many tactical target LR shooters, I have no experience with this exact combo, as noted I shoot 42.0 gr with 168s in my MAI , but soon will with a 700.
