Does anyone have Hornady load info for the .223 using 4198? I just bought a new Remginton 700 SPS along with a box of Hornady V-max 50 grain bullets and a pound of IMR 4198 and I'm looking for load info on these bullets.

The Hornady website should have that info handy. Just Google Hornady

The Hornady manual list the 50 grain V-max bullet with IMR-4198:

19.5 grains = 2900 fps
20.2 grains = 3000 fps
20.9 grains = 3100 fps
21.6 grains = 3200 fps
22.2 grains = 3300 fps & is Max load.

Rifle for testing was Rem 700 26" barrel
Winchester cases
Winchester WSR primer.
Max C.O.L = 2.260"
Max case length = 1.760"
Case trim length = 1.750
