Wondering if anyone else is loading 62 grain Steel core FMJ BT's and if so would you mind sharing your recipe?
TIA

I bet you'll be happy with Varget. Anything 55-70 has shot well from multiple twist rates with Varget and WSR.

Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Plus if it doesn't work the "best" then you have a mostly full lb of Varget on hand which is never a bad thing.

Thanks for the replies, none of the standard reloading manuals list this particular bullet so reached out to see if anyone else was loading this particular bullet trying to load equivalent to the M855, will give varget a try.
Picked up 1K of them at an Extremely good price.
