casts_by_fly Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hi gary, The hodgdon data site lists the 75 gr hornady HP with varget. Should be the same for the speer as both are flat base hollow point. Adjust the length to match your rifle of course. Data below. 75 GR. HDY HP Hodgdon Varget .243" 2.640" 36.0 3246 45,000 CUP 38.5 3408 50,500 CUP Thanks Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
