Has any got any great recipes for 7x64 with H 4350 / Varget powder?

Looking to load up some 154gr rounds for moose

I use H4350 and 154 gr Hdy. I use the 280 Rem recipe in the manuals and work up. Get excellent accuracy and DRT performance.

H4350 (AR2209) was tops in my 7X64 & I got around 2800 fps with 154 gr Hornadys. Very accurate. Rifle had claw mounts and I sold it.

Here are some accurate loads I tried in my Sauer 202. If I may say, I'd go to a heavier and deeper penetrating bullet than a 154 for moose :

H4350/52.5/175 Hornady SP / WLR primers (5 in .39 MOA)
N160 /56.0/160 HPBT Sierra / CCI 250 primers (5 in .41 MOA).

3 shots do not make a group, they show a point of aim or impact.
5 shots are a group.

Check the RELOADING section in AR. Also look at 280 Remington loads since case capacities are more or less the same.
One thing about 7x64. The chamber specs call for a LOOOOOOOONG throat. Both my Ruger 77 RS 7x64 and my Mannlicher-Schoenauer GK 7x64 have lots of freebore. It's so long I can not seat most bullets to just short of the lands.
The Ruger shot very well with Remington 175 grainers and Norme 170 grainers.
I have yet to find a handload which shoots as well. Having fun searching, though.
