I tried 4350 also but could not get decent results. My rifle is throated very long to allow maximum charge and I ran out of capacity before I reached both required speed or pressure signs.
I'm seated 20thou off lands with my varget load and they are running at 2672fps
Good luck with your load development!

That's gotta be toasty load, I couldn't even get 208 amax to go any faster then 2550 with varget? Any pressure signs at all? How are the primer pockets doing? Just wondering. My OAL is 3.064 with these 215s.

Good shooting broncman
 
The rifle is throated very long. What did you put in for OAL? Primers are good and no ejector marks...

Will be glad to give you my OAL if you want to rerun the numbers....

I just ran Broncman Load 43.3 Varget with 215 hybirds on QuickLoad CAUTION !!!!!!!!!87000ish psi!!!!

Please don't bother running my load of 46.9 Varget for 2672 fps then.......
Length of throat is key here!
 
Yes, throat length is key! He ran my load with my data and yes it is considered warm but not 87,000!

Folks always start low and work up. Do not use someone else's load data blindly!
 
I don't have my "black book" with me but top of boattail is just 1/3 down neck to maximise case capacity, seated 20 thou off lands.
I'm on my 3rd firing of brass and primer pockets still tight.
I ran 4350 up to 49.9g without any pressure but could not get them to group which was very disappointing as that was why I went for a very long throat in the first place, I was really hoping to reach the higher node with 4350.
Please note: My throat is VERY long so don't jump in with my loads. Work up slowly and stay safe.
Anyone interested in my exact load data feel free to send me a pm and when I'm home later I'll reply.
