My 24" 5R loves 44gr of varget at 2.8 under a 178 amax. You should be able to get away with a little more with your short barrel. I had an accuracy node somewhere around 42ish if I remember right and then 44 even. With 44gr of varget it just flat hammers, 3 shot 100yd groups in the teens aren't unusual at all. I never even bothered with the 175s because the 178s do better in the wind by everyones accounts and theyre cheaper.
