For my bolt rifle I use 24.6 gr Varget,.. Winchester brass, CCI-450 or Fed.205m primers, 2.330" COAL ( not optimal freebore ). I use this bolt rifle for bullets weighing from 52 gr to 77 gr., hence why the freebore is not optimal.

Great bullets. Since I live in Canaduh they're not as easily available.
 
If using Varget doesn’t get you the velocity you’re looking for switch to TAC. I use TAC in 223 and played with Varget but lost my velocity and went back to TAC.
 
would reloader 15 get higher velocity
I want to try the 73's because I could not get the 80.5's to shoot
