Seeing a lot of threads and wants for Varget. What cartridge are yall using Varget for?
 
223- 69gr to 80gr Bullets
308- 155gr Bullets. probably good for heavier but I don’t shoot heavier.
6BR- 105gr Bullets
6XC- 105gr
 
It's the most popular powder used by all of us barrel burners competing in PRS with 6 BR variants. 6BR, 6BRA, Dasher, BRX, etc...

308 with 175 SMK's. 22-250 Imp. With 60 grainers. Tried it a .222 Mag, found 8208 worked better. It's good stuff.
 
Just about everything! Try ARComp for 308 as well though, you might be surprised.
 
.223 and .308. I havnt been loading long, but the three guns I load for all use Varget. Makes it pretty simple!
 
6.5x47, 135 berg classic, 37.7 varget, cci450. Sub .3 5 shot groups in the 2 6.5x47 rigs I have.
 
Several of the cartridges already mentioned plus I love it in my 7mm-08.

308 for me. It's all I have ever used when hand loading 308 with excellent results so no reason to change. I did use it for 6.5 CM with lighter bullets but now shooting heavier bullets w/ H4350.
 
308-185
223-75-85.5
6.5x47-130
Sucks being dependent on one powder but it works fantastic
 
Found 1 pounders at Bass Pro Shops this am. Kind of high but no hazardous shipping charges helps. Just an fyi.
 
Varget is like a good hot sauce: put that shit [in] everything.
OK I see hehe. I have some and had good results in .223 but liked 8208 better (even for the heavies). Tried it in 6.5c but had better results with H4350. So now I'm just wondering what I even have it for.

Getting into 6Creedmoor this year. Maybe I'll try it for that.

Don't own 308 so no need there. Only .30 cal I have is 300NM and use H1000 for that.
 
Pretty much just 6dasher pushing 105 hybrids right now since it’s a little scarce in the wild right now, but I’ve done 308 and of course 223 with it in the past.
 
I m loading it in
-6 Br
- 6xc ,works better in my 6xc than H -4350 ,112 match burners,115 DTAC
 
Absolutely nothing. I swore it off 6 years ago when I started reloading because it was unicorn dust and I don't like to put myself into a situation where I can't get a hold of it.

Luckily RL16 seems to work better and is much easier to find. ?
