Sorry to be so different.... But I've never tried Benchmark...
W-748
Ramshot X-Terminator
those two have worked so well for me that I've never ventured into a third for any length of time...

RL10X
RL10X
RL10X w/25gr & the 39gr Sierra Blitzking... 5 shot 1/2" groups at 100 yards consistantly @ over
3700 fps
Varget worked well, but slower velocity and slightly less accurate... Benchmark worked best with the 32 gr bullets for me.
H4895 also did very well, but again with slight less accuracy.

RE-15 for 39SBK
N-140 for 35 Bergers
BL-C(2) for the 32's
I will be trying the RE-15 in my 1:10 barrel with the 40 V-Max as well.
