[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 842275, member: 22069"] A friend of mine flirted with the Hornady 178g BTHP's last fall. He was getting very erratic performance from them. He went back to the 178g AMAX and is pretty much cleaning up at the local 600 yard F-T/R matches. 41.7g Varget? Why are you loading so light? You are at or below the starting load. Max should be around 45g or so with a velocity in the vicinity of 2700. With your current load, you should be around 2550 or so. You can go that slow if you want to, but there is likely to be an accuracy node well above where you are loading currently.
