Hey guys, has anyone given this combination a try out there? My remington likes the powder and the bullet very much so I figured I would give it a shot. Starting with 32 grain data would likely be the best bet and watch for pressure signs from there. This remy of mine does not appear to ever show any signs of distress. One combo I tried with benchmark and the VG produced a sticky bolt but that was only one time. ANy help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I use 26.3 gr of RL-10X, 23.3 gr of H-4198, and 27.8 gr of benchmark with the varmint grenades.
RL-10X had a slight edge with accuracy.

Mine likes 25.2 grains of Rl-10x with the 26 grain VG. 24" barrel produces 4,085 fps average.
