i will say this --cci br primers showed very similiar results with 28 gr varget but didnt group as tight but very close - also i will add i never got much of a group until i really started up the higher end of the powder levels - im not sure but 28.5 is not compressed but close and in this gun the brass needs to be 1.84 and no more - I sure hope this helps someone that is trying to find a load

Here is a link to some data from the manufactures. According to the hodgdon data 28.5 gr. is .4 over max with a 40 gr.vmax bullet, but I dont see one for 40 gr. berger but the 35 gr. max is 29.0 gr.
