I have a mate that swears by his cooper Vartarg, I have sizing dies, was going to rebarrel my Sako to it, if it wouldn't shoot the 25 gr v-max, nothing between these two cal,.(17 fireball and .20 Vartarg). the .17 25g v-max has higher Bc than the 32 gr v-max and 35 gr Berger, the vartarg is strangled a bit with the 40 gr weight.

I am doing load development with my .204 CZ Varmint at the moment, it giving me 1/2" groups with the 32&35 gr bullets, with benchmark and varget, won't shoot 40 gr very well, and is amazing with the hornardy 45 gr soft point, I have not been able to find any 39 gr Sierra to try.

Layman sharps in .22 hornet.
