Varget, 22cm, and 95SMK

[CarbonMTN]

Cant find data at all for this so please help if you can.

I have about 6 LBS of Varget left that I've been using for reloading 60 gr TMK 223.

I want to build (in the near future) a 22cm shooting only 95 SMK. I've see that the 95 SMK can shoot extremely well and that bullet looks damn cool and cant wait to try and out shoot a few buddies while I'm at it.

So here is the problem. with powders extremely hard to find currently (h1000 ,4350 and RL26), i was wondering could I work up a load using the Varget that I currently own?

I am used to only following guilds from Sierra or Hornady so this would be my first time working a load from scratch, so do think Varget would work?

With the 22CM using the 95 SMK I am NOT looking for a speed demon. I Want max speed to be around 3100 FPS. that still blazing fast but if Varget could get my only, say, 2700-2800 fps I would be happy.

If the goal is 2700fps with the 95SMK, just use your 1:7" .223 Rem with Varget. It'll get there.

Otherwise, in today's component market, you could easily trade that Varget for a more suitable .22Creed powder.
