Varget being the hard to find product that it is, what does everyone use when they can't get it? I listed a few that I have seen, but curious what has worked best for everyone.
 
N150. I know by the chart it looks a little slow, but it gives great results in my 6BR.

I like Reloader 15 as well, but it seems erratic. One day it shoots great, the next, not so great. The lots I have are about 10 years old, though. Many say the newer lots seem to be more consistent.

I shoot 30.8 grns behind my own 103.
 
I’m surprised at the popularity of RL15 with its supposed temperature sensitivity. For those using it, is it for short range BR?
I use RL-16 for long range BR. in my dashers.

I have found I have to adjust all powders to the range conditions.
What difference does it make if I adjust .1 or .15gr? I still have to make an adjustment.


EDIT

I should have written RL-15 in the message above.
