I always felt Varget fouled more than it should, in a 308. Then when Varget started becoming unobtainium every time there was a gun related news headline starting in the mid 2000s, I moved to using more and more N140 and N150. After that, I *really* felt Varget was a nasty fouling pig of a powder, at least by comparison.

More recently, I've had someone tell me that they felt N150 was super dirty, in their 22GT. So it may be cartridge-dependant, or just subjective between shooters

I've been warned about N150/N160 as well. Having come from a lot of the Reloader 15 and 16 stuff, I don't think the VV powders are all that bad. Like you said, it is perspective/subjective.

I also clean every 100-125 rounds, and clean to bare metal every 200-250... so maybe that might be why I'm not seeing the same buildup that others are.

Varget never game me fits, but I've used it so long that perhaps I'm just used to it.

This is true. When I was a Snapon dealer, the amount of tool numbers I knew was insane as well.

You know, I used to worry about a cataclysm knocking humans back a few hundred years. Now, I hope for it.

Back up

Shot my first true long gong this past weekend. 300 yds with what I think is the "true or proposed " target sizes of 8", 6" and 4". Definitely interesting experience. While we had shooters make it to the 4" there really was no consistency from relay to relay. I personally think the targets were a bit small after the experience. I also think that environmentals become the biggest issue and that it will take a different "set up" than what I would call my 50-200 yard rifle.

Shoot a lot of local KYL style matches with .25" being the smallest at 50, .5" at 100 and 1 inch at 200. Personally feel that the 1" at 200 is too small and is somewhat more about luck vs having a competitive chance. My current ammo is basically +/- .2 mils at 200 yards. Thats larger than the target allows for. I typically look for ammo that prints 2" or better in ideal conditions when lot testing at 200. Half inch at 100 isn't always a guarantee either.
