What's closest to Varget

[Ironworker]

22/250 60 gr V-max. I'm running low on Varget ,what powders do you all suggest ? Can't find any Varget anywhere .

imr 4064

4064.

 

[ShootDots]

4064.

IMR 4895 is one of the BEST powders in the 22-250 with light bullets.. As stated above, so is IMR 4064..

 

[spclark]

VV N-140, Alliant RL-15, even IMR 8208XBR ought to be worth trying. All serve nicely for Palma loads (155-ish 308WIN) where Varget used to be the go-to choice.

 

[digrazir]

IMR 4064..

 

[gunsandgunsmithing]

4064..almost grain for grain and usually outshoots Varget..but doesn't meter as well.

Alliant AR-Comp is supposed to be a Varget equivelent and advertised as temp stable.
I think it is a hybrid powder, extruded double base powder that performs like a single base.
I don't know for sure and I bought a pound of it to try this spring.
Might be worth looking into.
Good luck
Joe

You mean AR Comp? Auto Comp is an IMR pistol powder.

RL19 worked good for me for 60-64's, so don't be afraid to try 4350 class powders if you have some.

I like H-380 in the 22-250.

Have had great results with VV N140. The 8208XBR does work great with both the 155 Palma's and really great with 80 SMK's for .223.

I don't think 60 grain Vmax qualifies as a light bullet in 22-250. I would try N140 and 4064.

IMR 4895 or RE15.

 

[MrMajestic]

Reading just the title I would say Heaven!
Seriously I understand it's becoming available again.

 

[Homerange]

ADI 2208 if it's available where you are. Some say it's the same powder, some say it's not......
