32 gr Nosler Ballistic Tips

[Fat NDN]

I am looking for loads for these. I am using Varget powder.
I have been having problems getting my loads to work.
Been working with 39gr BK's with nothing that would work.

Look at the .204 load data at the top of the page and go with the 32g V-MAX loads.You should be fine with that.

Clue us in on what rifle, barrel length, and other load components. Varget might be a bit slow burning for the 32 grain bullets but several members are using it for the heavier bullet weights.

From Nosler No.6, 32gr BT

Varget
Start: 27.0 - 3811 fps
Max: 29.0 - 4043 fps

Personally, I'd use Benchmark, Tac, IMR 4198 (most accurate powder tested) H322, H335, or RL10X before I'd use Varget for a 32gr bullet in the 204, but that's just me. It's a tad slow for what you are doing.

W748 in the Nosler book gives 4154 fps, along with Tac for the 32 grainer.

i am shooting 32gr VMaxes in my howa, with extremely good results. using benchmark at 27.2 grs. i tried h335, because i have lots of it for my 223, but did not like the results. my load is moving right at 4000fps. with devastating results on squirrels, and other small vermin. i have no experience with varget, so i cannot say anything one way or another. as far as i know this load will interchange with ballistic tips.
