Hodgson 4895 / Varget These are different powders would there be much difference in powder quantity ?

 

Your close to below minimum load with Varget or very close, thats just as bad as over. Do not replicate powder weights using different powders or different bullets even of the same weight. 

Steve beat me to it, 

And just to add as an example, 35 grn of H4895 is too close to Max to start.

According to the Hodgdon chart link I sent you, you can safely start with 34.1. Even their recommended max' load is safe, although I have never done this.

Paul get a reloading book ! 

They are not that expensive about £35 new.  And you will be able to read it yourself. 

Or get yourself a full face impact resistant full face visor. A decent one for your needs is about £50 but wont guarantee 100% to stop a bolt smashing into your cheek. 

 The books a better option. 👍
