Yup brass type will make a difference. My 178 BTHP/AMAX load was using 45grns of Varget in a Win case but in a Hornady case I only used 44grns for the same velocity.

Also a small drop tube helps. I have used one for years no matter the powder or charge. A short 4" version like this. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/842036/rcbs-quick-change-powder-funnel-kit

I use a trickler to bring my charge up to measured amount then a funnel.
Drop tubes prevent this type of accuracy.
My brass is all Hornady.

Yeah I trickle up to charge and then pour into a funnel with a drop tube attached. Doesn't prevent accuracy. Look at the link i posted.

Hornady brass has less internal capacity than the Winchester brass Hodgdon uses for their load on their site. So you will probably not get up[ to the 46grns but should find a good load a little lower.

Maybe as accurate but Varget has that great temp stability.

Yeah the Enduron powders are pretty good too. I got some 4451 as a back up for my H4350 supply. Been a large factor for me having cold winters and shooting matches in hot places but once I move to NC it will be less important.

It's an honest question and is part of this conversation as a drop tube would help with the settling of the higher powder charges of Varget. You said you had the same kit but you also said that the drop tube effects precision. Either you do or don't use it. Simple question.
