Someone was selling #1lb'ers here yesterday for $50 .. and getting it!
I've got a big jug and have been using it for .308 It's working out good for me. But I'm a reloading noob and anything I can roll seems good to me if I come home with all my digits. -g

it's good but not that good. there are other extreme powders that work in the same temp range.
I still have 2 or 3 lb maybe I should sell it well no, it works great in my 150gr 30.06 loads. |

Varget is fine.It has been around for a long time as the go to for alot of people.
I actually prefer Reloader or Ramshot. I bought some Reloader 15 at Ammo Bros 2 weeks ago for $26 lb. Ramshot Tac I have been getting in the $19-$20 range and even more reasonable if you get the 8 pounders.Of course you have to pay ship/hax mat on top.About $40 on my last order. The Ram Tac works great in 223 as well. Order the 48 pounds and spread the wealth with some friends.These days I just buy it and it is spoken for by the time I recieve it.Some mail order places are shipping in 10-12 weeks,but it comes. All the BS with primers,I ordered 15,000 for $595 shipped/yesterday to be here on the 18th.With shipping it comes to $39.66 per 1,000 Some of these auction prices are funny.I watched a Lee progressive go on ebay for $375 the other day.At Midway or Natchez they are $220 all day long. And no I do not have any extra already.My network of accomplices have spoken for the stuff already. Last edited by Coyotegunner; 03-09-2013 at 4:43 AM.. |

I use Varget in my 22-250 because I found it to be accurate and I got it cheap before the rush. There are other powders that are probably just as good, or better, but I stopped developing the load when I got to 1/4" groups an I'm too lazy to go further.

I hear people say that all the time, but is it really any more "versatile" than IMR 4064, IMR 4895, or H380? It has decent performance in .223 and .308, which are probably the two most popular centerfire rifle calibers, and Lyman lists a lot of their "accuracy loads" with Varget, so its good for other applications but its not always "the best". Sometimes it's not worth the hassle of trying to find it...

I've got a sealed 8lb jug that I'd sell for $350.

Just received my order from Midsouth. 4 lbs of Varget and some Titegroup as well. Takes care of that need for now.
Midsouth ships lightning fast- ordered on Saturday and received my order Thursday morning.

RL-15, IMR 4064, IMR 4320 IMR 4895, VV-140, VV-150, AA-2495, AA-2520, Win 748 and some others, should fill the bill nicely, in lieu of Varget.

Ditto on the Varget stability. Me, I'm a BL-C(2) guy for the AR and IMR 4895 for the Garand. Bought 8# of BL-C(2) from Midsouth Shooters Friday 01MAR. Delivering on Monday. Hehe. To the OP, stay off gun broker unless you insist on throwing your money away.
