How many calibers has Varget powder been used in ?
« on: November 29, 2003, 05:03:33 PM »
During my work in the reloading department, I've been asked this question.

Not what calibers data is available for, but what calibers have people actually loaded it in.

Can the forum help me out?

Thanks!

I am getting 3/8" groups with Varget  and Hornady's 52g HPBT match in my .22-250. My 8x57 will give good results with it also.
