Of course my Speer book doesn't have info on Hornady bullets so does anybody have info on 55 gn V-Max, Varget powder and max coal?

25.5 grains at 2.26" OAL

Ir really depends on your chamber and the particular lot of Varget. The 55 V-Max has a very long shank and will cause higher pressures over a comparable 55 grain bullet. I would start at 24gr. and work-up carefully. A NATO chamber will allow 1-2 additional grains of Varget due to it's generous dimensions.
