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.

Shipper problems

No issues with product but plenty of issues with FedEx, mainly with the fact that they want to deliver when people are at work, and want extra $$$ for a more friendly delivery time. I would change carriers.

Excellent Powder

I have used Varget with my 243 and 308 rifles with excellent groupings. Both of my rifles like Varget. At 100 and 200 yards I get consent MOA at lots of different temperature ranges. Just have to try Varget powder to see if your gun likes it.
