Hodgon Varget information showed starting load 47.0 grains/maximum load 51.0 grains. Trying to find what is the sweet spot in grains for a Browing A-bolt with BOSS.

Welcome to camp friend! Loads that are safe in other rifles may or may not be safe in your rifle. Start off by loading up several different powder charges and try them to see what YOUR rifle likes..

Welcome aboard. Absolutely no way to know! I have found Abolts to be relatively accurate and the few I’ve loaded for shot well with hotter loads. I personally use IMR 4064, H4350 or RL 22 in the 06. Load some up and shoot, tell us what you learn. I’m a big fan of the 150 ballistic tip for deer.

I have been using for 20 years Alliant Reloader 19 of 62.0 grains with the 150 grain spitzer BT in my a-bolt which was maximum grains but with good results . With R19 difficult to find now I am turning towards Hodghon Revert what I researched is an overall good powder for my setup.
