VARGET® SMOKELESS RIFLE POWDER Reviews & Ratings

HODGDON POWDER COMPANY VARGET® SMOKELESS RIFLE POWDER

Varget® is an extruded propellant in the Hodgdon line of Extreme series of powders. Varget features small, extruded grains for uniform metering, is insensitive to hot and cold temperatures and produces higher energy for improved velocities over other powders in its burning-speed class.

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.

Great for .308 Win

Used IMR-4064 in my .308 Win for years. Accuracy was consistent, but not great. Switched to Varget last year and what a difference. Using 150 & 165 gr. hunting bullets I am getting sub-moa groups consistently --- and that's with a hunting rifle, not a target rifle. My only complaint is that I am not reaching the velocity I'd like to have, but that is minor due to the increased accuracy.
