Thanks, Dave. That was my max as well for Varget with my Hornady once fired brass. I would take each case before seating and tap it about 30 seconds on the bench to settle the powder.
I agree with the others that Varget and heavier projectiles in Grendel limit your case capacity. H4895 is very good. I do not recommend CFE223 due to it's poor temp stability UNLESS you live in a climate that doesn't vary much through the seasons. I have PPV but haven't played much with it and am not sure how temp stable it is.
27.5gr of Varget compress with a 130 Berger hybrid gave me 2280 ft/sec 5 shot average and was not as accurate as my 27.2gr load using the same Bergers.
