Just remember about Varget

Varget is the most versatile powder in the reloading business, that is my opinion. When you start checking loads for almost every rifle cartridge in the books, Varget is listed somewhere in almost all of them.

In the small calibers like .222 Rem. and .223 Rem. the powder is listed with the heaver (i.e. longer, higher B.C.) bullets. In the smaller calibers that normally like a little bit faster powders, Varget is considered a slow powder for those calibers.

Yes I know that Varget is in the middle of the road as far as burning speed. In the smaller calibers it is like a slow burning powder and in the larger calibers it is like a faster burning powder.

The most accurate load that I ever had in my .25-06 the .30-06 and the .308 have been using Varget.

It is one versatile powder. Getting the bullet for the rifling twist correct is the hard part after that.
