42.5 of IMR4064
Great in my AR-10, Reloader15 is an excellent powder as well...Cant go wrong with varget and 168 MK's.

I've been playing with a 41.0gr BL-C(2) load in my Cetme, using some 168gr BTHP's.

I'm using Nato headstamp brass so I'm staying well shy of most published max's. The Speer #14 used mil-spec brass so I have gone up to the max there.

The powder is has worked beautifully for me. Pretty clean and meters very nicely from my RCBS thrower.

my bolt gun has a 1:10 barrel and seems to like 175 smk. it will shoot 1 hole groups at 100 with
43.0gr 4064
43.0 varget
and with a couple of weights in 8208 xbr
all with win brass and br2 primers

I have been loading 42.8 gr Varget with 168gr Hornaday A-Max non-moly coated seated 0.015 off the lands in my Savage 12VLP with good results

Haven't got to chronograph them yet, but that load is a ways below max. The higher the charge the further the group spread in my rifle.

This is out of a 26" tube, so might not be warm enough to get the velocities you are looking for.
