223 Load Data with Varget - 04/26/17 10:05 PM
Anyone load Varget in there 223 ?
Loading for a bolt gun with 1/9 20" barrel.
Any Advice ?
Wanted to use Varget as I would like to stay with the same powder I load 308.
Thanks

25 grains of VARGET over a 69 sierra matchking is pretty popular in service rifle. 26.5 grains work well with most of the 52 grain bullets. you can pick up the Hornady 52 HPBT for about $150 per 1k. both of those loads will shoot ragged holes

Vafarmer,
26grs of Varget worked nice loaded .018 off the lands.
223 mixed brass, and 55gr V-Max.
Thanks Again
