AR reloaders

The Hornady reloading manual (sixth edition) I have does not have a recommended load for the 55 grain V MAX for the AR wondering if any AR owner/reloader has worked up a recipe for the 55 grain V MAX?
Thanks in Advance

From the 10th ed.
My 18" Wilson Combat Stainless Match barrel in 1:8 twist likes VMax's loaded to the max 26.4 Gr of Varget, I'd have to look at my notebook to tell you what kind of a jump they're making to the lands though. I also use CCI Small Rifle primers.....
