Those QL velocities are a bit slow, I know for a fact my rifle shoots a 70NBT@3750 with 48gr H4350.
I really can't see the Varmageddon bullets that much slower.
But it does give me load data to try and I can chrono later if they show promise.
I have some test loads ready and hope to get out in a day or two

No apologies necessary, QL is another great tool for reloaders.
So many variables with the program and all the different rifles.
The charge weights look right for H4350 from my loading notes with the 70 NBT.
I just double checked my h2o capacity and it's 56.5gr not 57.5gr I posted earlier.
Not sure when I can get chrono numbers. My shooting time is extremely limited, hence why I'm not here much like I used to be.
