Yes you can. I used 44 grains of Varget in my ackley with a 1in12 twist. I am not seeing anything great out of these varmint grenade bullets as compared to v-max but i haven't given them a very good test yet. I didn't check the speed of this load but it should be well over 4000'.

I have been using the 62gr vg's in my 6mm rem 1-9 twist, the only problem I have seen are the difference in the weigh, 8 different. like 61.8gns-62.5 when loaded all same weights they shoot well out to 350yds and kill ground hogs
