Barnes 50 gr. VG... wtf?

[Sgt. 0811]

So, Yesterday I called Barnes for load data on the 50 gr. Varmint Grenade.

The guy on the phone tells me
TAC 27.5 to 29.5

After I got done loading 200 rounds I went to record the data in my die press box and noticed the data was identical to the 36 gr varmint grenade.
I check the webstie today and no data at all for TAC and 50 gr.

I just sent them an Email but I am pretty sure I just waisted my time loading all those.

can anyone verify this data is safe?

Look at 50gr bullets and see if the numbers are within 5% or so. My Varmint Grenade loads are barely any different from the 35gr Vmax loads.

I have a feeling you're going to want a collet style bullet puller.
