Varget has been available lately, but since you asked for alternatives... RE15 and...

TS15.5
H4895
BL-C2
4064
8208
TAC
2520
N540

H4895 will do everything you want, and more. Unfortunately, it is even harder to come by than Varget. Vihtavuori N135 or N140 would also be excellent choices, and Powder Valley currently has both in stock.

If you really want to make them sing, AR-Comp

23.2 8208 or 23.4 H4895 for me. Love the factory pointed meplats on new 80's.

 

[Walt Krafft]

N140 24.0 is very good.

 

[jelenko]

23.6 8208 for me.

I run 23.9 in a particular gas gun... it's a barn burner but shoots unbelievably.

Thanks guys I have Varget but it’s reserved for something else, I have some 4895 so will see how that goes, have a few pounds of 332 and 335 so I may try that as will. What powder weight range you using with 4895?

 

[Dgd6mm]

I run 75 and 80 with H4895 but would go heavier if I wanted to do so.

I have some of this combo loaded up @2.55 COAL to test. How high have you gone with AR Comp and the 80 smk?
