Higginsons is a powder dealer and they have links to the manufacturers data.

Did you look at the Hodgdon reloading data web site, they have data for 60gr v-max with varget, should do the trick to work up your loads with.

X2. The latest edition of the Hornady manual doesn't distinguish between the V-Max, soft point or hollow point on powder charge recommendations.

So then the data is the same for the different bullets in the same weight 60gr?


Thanks

See this link. Click on the appropriate box of Sierra (bolt gun, or AR-15) bullets part way down the page. Will bring up Sierra load data. Match bullet weight.

The closest thing I could find in my Hodgdon 2011 annual reloading manual for 223 Remington was 60 gr Hornady V-max COL 2.250"

Varget 25 gr 2924 fps 40,400 CUP up to 27.0 (compressed charge) 3159 fps 51,900 CUP

Hope this helps.

This is what my Hornady 8th edition says as well. I'm not sure why the Hodgdon numbers would be so different, but they are the manufacturer of Varget (actually, I think Thales makes it for them).

this is what Hodgdon website has
60 GR. HDY V-MAX Hodgdon Varget .224" 2.250" 25.0 2924 40,400 CUP 27.0C 3159 51,900 CUP

^^ Roger, that's what I copied out of my magazine version. Question is why does the Hodgdon manual start at Hornady's max load?
