I’m going to pull some of his reloads to ensure he does not have a scale problem. 44 grains Varget a 71 degree should be good. We shoot this load in another 700P bolt gun with no issues, but I load them on a different scale. Head scratcher.

I loaded up some Hornady and Remington Brass on my equipment. I also loaded some with 43.1grains Varget over a 168 grain SMK which is a pet load I like. We will see. I agree Federal is a little soft but another guy is running the 43.1 load and is on his 4th reload. Gas guns can be a pain when trying to push them.
