Re: 35 grain vmax in .223
I couldn't get them to shoot worth beans in my two Savages (1-9" twist barrels), I'm still not sure why I bought them in the first place 
(I didn't have my Hornet at that time). That short little bugger won't be much good past 200 yards, it doesn't have the BC for that.
If you have some, try about 13.5 Blue Dot under them. Calhoon recommends 14.0 Blue Dot for his 37s, so it should be safe enough. I wouldn't run out and buy a bottle for these wiffleball bullets, though.
If you have some of the faster powders, like 4198 or something like those (maybe 4227) it might be worth trying out.
There's a reason there isn't any data for the little stinkers in .223......................
