Title: Anyone have extra Varget?
Post by: 7mmfan on September 03, 2020, 06:29:35 AM: Just a shot in the dark. I thought I was just shooting what I had up, but stumbled onto a very good load for my rifle with it and now I can't find it anywhere. Wondering if anyone in the general area of Marysville has some they'd be willing to part with?

Post by: 7mmfan on September 03, 2020, 08:42:47 AM: Yeah I haven't found it anywhere online or otherwise. May need to switch powders up and start over I guess. Plenty of H/IMR 4350 floating around it seems. I have half a pound of H4895 but I had pressure issues with that powder when shooting it last year.

I think I got it handled, thanks though. Plus, I won't be traveling to Selah anytime soon. Unless you're doing cabinets down the road from me again :chuckle:

I was curious what the closest substitute was. That's great info.

Post by: spookgus on September 03, 2020, 09:16:02 PM: I'm with you and Varget has given me the best accuracy with 55 gr SGK. In my opinion, Varget is also a good emergency powder. Not necessarily optimal for everything, but usable from 22 to 30 cal. The same can be said about 4895.
