Re: 208s and varget

You looking at loading a .308? Even if so, I think vargets a tad too fast. H4350, RL22, RL17, would be more suitable.

agree. I use RL15. It gives a bit faster velocity

Montana Marine was getting good results with the 208, but not with Varget. I want to say he was using RL-17, but you might dig around in some of his old threads to find out..

Re: 208s and varget

If you have H4350 I'd try that. It's burn rate is right around RL17. I don't like reloader powders.
