Product Overview<\/em><\/p>\n

Hodgdon Varget Smokeless Gun Powder is an extruded propellant in the Hodgdon line of Extreme series of powders.\u00a0Varget\u00a0features small, extruded grains for uniform metering, is insensitive to hot and cold temperatures, and produces higher energy for improved velocities over other powders in its burning speed class. The powder ignites quickly and burns clean, translating into superb accuracy, higher scores, and more clean, one-shot kills. Varget is the perfect powder for shooting a 223 Remington with heavy bullets in competitive matches. Outstanding performance and velocity<\/a> can be obtained in such popular cartridges as the 22-250 Remington, 308 Winchester, 30-06, 375 H&H, and many more.<\/p>\n

Available in 1 lb. containers.<\/p>\n

Varget is my go to powder for both 308 & 223. 46 grains under a 165 gr sierra Game king, for hunting. 45 gr and 175 sierra Match king for long range.
\n223 26 gr for a berger 70 VLD target load. That\u2019s my recipe. In a 1-9 twist 223.<\/p>\n

Varget is a very good powder for semi-autos. It\u2019s also one that is easy for me to locate, which is a big benefit. I use it for .223, .308, and 30-06 semis.<\/p>\n

My manuals include .30-30 data for it in most bullet weights, so it\u2019ll definitely work, but I don\u2019t have any personal experience with it.<\/p>\n

That should definitely work as a plinking load. I\u2019ve had great luck with 43.0 grains behind a 168 grain A-Max set off by CCI 200s. It works well in both the AR and M1A.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve had dismal luck with Varget in 308. 4064, 4895, 4350 have worked much better in that caliber for me. Can\u2019t speak to 223 as I tend to go a bit old fashioned with walnut stock and blued metal for rifles\u2026<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
