For any of y’all that shoot long range with 30-06 has anyone loaded with varget and 176 a tip. The Hornady manual doesn’t list varget for that weight bullet as an option. Hodgdon’s site doesn’t have the 176 atip but they have 175smk with varget ranging 45gr min to 48gr max. This should be a safe starting point for the 176 a tip correct?
 
It will work for the A-Tip, but do you have any H4350 to try?

You would get a more efficient load with better ES/SD stats which makes it worth the value of those A-Tips.

30-06 does have one sexy ass long neck to maximize bearing surface. Really good for housing Hammer bullets!
