Varget vs reloader 15

[markm87]

I find Varget to less temperature sensitive than R 15, wait this is not an off-topic post.

Man. I remember reading the R15 vs 4064 testing in the Mil LR 762 load. RL 15's temp sensitivity was radically worse than 4064, but they still went with RL powder at that time. I couldn't understand the logic behind the decision.

Back when I was still shooting High Power, both reduced course and across the course I used 69 gr Sierra MK's, and Re15 at all stages for 200 yd. reduced. For across the course 80 shot matches I used Varget for all stages to keep it simple with 69 & 80 gr MK's In the rapid fire stages you put 10 shots for record in 60 or 70 seconds and about 4-5 minutes later you do it again. The still hot barrel on the second go round gave too unpredictable vertical in the rapids. I used Varget when I could get it, but it has always been harder to find, on all shooting but Re15 to save my Varget when I was running low. They both worked for me the way I used them. I never really noticed a difference in fowling using Butches. and occasionally some Sweets. Now I use Varget and VV N140 for my 6BR-N and Dasher and both work very well for my rifles. I am trying Shooters World Precision in both and will shoot a VFS 100 & 200 yd match tomorrow to see how it goes.
