Re: Hornady 178gr BTHP loads, what's everyone running?

No, no where near as picky as VLD's. I was getting 2570 in my 17.5" short barrel from 43.8 Varget loaded at 2.82. I would stick with mag length loads though, seems to be where they give the best results.
My buddy runs 44 Varget in his gas gun. It's a little hard on brass but is a freakin tack driver and getting great velocity. 44 grains in a bolt gun should be great, seems to be the go to load.
