I can’t seem to find any Varget. I have H4350 and XBR 8208. H4350 seems a tad slow but I see some guys are using it. Has anyone tried 8208? I’m hoping to run the 88 eldm in a 22” Brux.
 
What bullets are you guys phasing with ur br and dashers and length of bbls I just ordered up my 22 dasher barrel and am hoping to push the 85-90s at 3200ish from a 22 tube
 
Ran them over 3500 but I prefer them at 3375/3400. Throat moves quick enough the way it is
 
Wow, do you remember what freebore? I started at 31 grns and worked up from there got a pretty stiff bolt and pressure signs at 34 gns. Velocity was right at 3100.
 
What load did you end up using with your 22 dasher? I’m looking to work up a load for 88 eldms and 75 grainers.
 
Old post but figured I would add.

88 to 95 grain bullets in my 22 dasher like 32 grains of varget.

3140 fps with 90 and 95. 3180 with 88. This is with a 26” 6.5T barrel.

Had the 88 over 3300 fps with varget but it wasn’t a sustainable load. Brass was taking a hit.
