[rr2030]

Looking for load data using Varget powder. weight, velocity etc. Any help is appreciated.

depending on your brass and primer, start at 34 grains of varget and work up. I've shot several 55's with 36 and even 36.5 grains of varget. Don't have a chronograph but it sizzles! And Accuracy is very good(even at 36.5)
Hope this helps,Jonathan Taylor

38 grains H380 in my Savage 12 don't have a chronograph but shoots .33 if I do my thing.

winchester brass, BR-2 currently using 36.0 Varget but if I recall when I did chrono a few years ago it was around 3500. Just looking to safely pick up the speed, also chasing the rifling to the point its almost a muzzle loader. Any Idea what max is in the Berger manual?

Never got 'hooked' on the Varget thing. But after 35 years with a 22-250 I never saw a need to venture away from H-380.
The 38 gr of H-380 as stated above is my load also. That's in a Colt Sauer. Strictly hunting for that, with some superb 3 shot groups.(Thin barrel that gets hot looking at it!)

Well I use Varget for the 22-250 and the .308, cuts down on the amount I have on hand and keeps the fire dept happy(20lbs or less) So I am ONLY interested in Varget Data, thank you. Anyone have the max load with Varget from the Berger manual?

I gave up on H380 because of the temp swings in OH. Seemed like POI would change every 2 months. Switched to Varget and no more problems. I'm shooting 36.5 gr with the Sierra 55 gr. Have to admit I get outstanding accuracy with Varget, wouldn't switch.
