I have a light gun and heavy gun 6BRA benchrest rifles. They have identical chambers using a Pacific Tool and Gauge reamer designed for a 103 Vapor Trail. Both use IMR 4895 at 29.9 for the Vapor Trails and 29.3 for Berger 105 Hybrids. Both are seated into the lands with a square mark on the bullet. Both are capable of shooting 2" inch groups @ 600 yrds when I do my part. I've tried Varget but never generated the accuracy of the IMR until I got up to scary pressures.
In a slow 14 and 12 twists with zero freebore, the 55g Nosler loves H335 and AA2230 with rem 7 1/2 primers at 3900 fps, with 60g at 3800+....tiny bug hole groups abound and 3/4" at 300 is not unusual at all.
AA2495 instead of Varget, 8208, and 4895 will add a LOT of throat life when running 105ish weight bullets.
Beware that some lot# of the Hornady bullets run .2440 on the pressure ring and std throat dia is .2435. The bullets get pushed way back in the case when you have a lot# of fat bullets.
