I have used Varget for some loads with 75-80 sierras. I loaded them near max to compare with a similar load of IMR 4831 which I to many lbs of. It works better in my 223 but needs a mag primer.

I have used 41gr of Varget with 70gr Nosler Ballistic tips and have shot .500" groups. My OAL was 2.65" using Federal brass and Federal 210M primers.

I have since switched to H-380 powder.
