4064, H4895, & Reloader 15 (a powder I had never tried but was available). 4064 was the star of the group.eric32 said:M-61 said:If there is a plus side to the lack of Varget it got me working with other powders I had.

A real surprise (related to 'lack of powder and bullets' was used strictly to fire form 30BR. Never expected it to do much except 'fire'. 2015 pushing 110gr new carbine bullets. I was out of everything I needed and put that together mainly to go and shoot something, and at 100 yards those ugly bullets and a powder I never used before put together an amazing group. If and when Varget ever becomes available sure I'll buy it, but the lack of it got me trying things I never would have. I guess my point was I was forced to use different powders and not to use up the little that I had in stock. Some pleasing results.

WyleWD said:What I've noticed is that the online stores are almost always "out of stock" and the smaller and mom & pop stores have Varget and have had it for 4 months now. One store in particular near here limits how much you can walk out the door with. The supervisor there said that that policy only irritates the hoarders, but he'd rather lose the one hoarder and keep the next 30 customers happy and coming back.![]()
As a previous poster noted, their are other powders out there that will work as well and in some cases better than Varget. A likely candidate would be 4064 from my experience. WD
