All:

I'm looking for some initial starting loads for the 26gr Barnes Varmint Gernades. I've done a search on the internet and within this forum and have only found one starting load using W-748 with a min=27.5 and max=30.0. This was with a standard small rifle primer. I'll be using CCI 450 primers, so I'll back off another half grain, or so, and start from there with this powder.

Other powders I'll be using are:
Varget
BL-C(2)
IMR 4895
H335
Benchmark

Thanks for the help,

26 gr. Barnes VM (Varmint Grenade)
