31gns of A.D.I. AR2208 (sold as Varget in the US) gives about 3960 FPS with the 40gn V Max . Load is close to maximum so work up from about 28gns .
Not sure whether Hodgdon markets AR2206 in the U.S. but have read that you can get over 4000 FPS with the 40gn V Max using it .
748 is red hot with the 32gn (4290 FPS)but a bit quick I think for top velocity with the 40gn .


The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.
