Re: .243 87 V-Max
I have only loaded 87 grainers with IMR 4350 (40 grains) because it worked so well I didn't bother to try varget. I did find several loads online from other people and it sounded like 36-37 grains was where they got the best results. Makes sense, it's just 2 grains short of my load for the 75 grain v-max, which is pretty close to a starting load. If I did try varget I would still start at 34gr and work up since that's the 90 grain bullet data from Hodgdons site. If I try it I'll let you know. I'd be interested in hearing about your results as well.
