Has anyone noticed the label on the can of Varget where it lists loads? For .223 it lists 27.5 gr with a 55 gr bullet for a MV of 3384 fps.
Nosler #6 reloading manual lists a max load of 25 gr with a MV of 3037fps and a 99% fill.
Hornady's 7th Edition lists 26.4 as max with a MV of 3200fps
Speer #14 lists 27 gr as max with a MV of 3216.
I don't believe I've come across such a wide discrepancy before. Also, how can 25 gr in a Nosler case yield 99% fill and 26.4, 27. and 27.5 not even be listed as compressed loads? Am I missing something?
