The powder ignites quickly and burns clean, translating into superb accuracy, higher scores and more clean, one-shot kills.

Varget® is the perfect powder for shooting the 223 Remington with heavy bullets in competitive matches. Outstanding performance and velocity can be obtained in such popular cartridges as the 22-250 Remington, 308 Winchester, 30-06, 375 H&H and many more.

Awesome powder

Been using this powder for over 13 years and it has never let me down. With varget I get excellent results with .223 with low sd. Its also great for .308 and 30-06. If you own a 6 dasher Im sure youre burning a lot of varget. It shines like no other for the 6 dasher. Give it a try and you wont regret it. Theres not much stuff that I can say negative about this powder. But if I had to, than I would say. Its metering. Not the top but not too bad.

Very consistent burn!

Clean burning and very consistent powder. It's one of those that just goes fast unfortunately so your better off getting a bigger batch than a pound. Doesn't meter the greatest but it doesn't seem as dense as something like IMR 4895 so it's not the worst I've used in a powder measure either definitely doable. I've only used Varget for. 223 Rem so far but it's pretty versatile and seems to buck the weather really well and I live in Ohio so the weather is never consistent lol! I usually load my .223 by hand anymore so I can maintain consistent charges but I purposely loaded a 2 thou variance and it remains plenty consistent so I would have no problem using a powder charge with this powder. It's starting load in Lyman 50th almost hits 3k fps so it just works well especially with 55gr FMJ!

Good powder

This stuff seems to make a smaller bang every time i pull the trigger compared to other. Real comfortable to shoot and seems easy on the rifle. I can get 10 shot groups around 1.5 MOA at a 100 yards out of my AR15. This is using brass that is not match grade and fired several times. Also using a regular bullet seating die that is not all that consistant coupled with a non match grade barrel. I am pleased and will buy more.

Awesome!

I load 42 grains behind a 52gr V-max. Tremendous accuracy in my Savage 22-250. Prarie dogs inside of 400 yards don't stand a chance.
