Hogdon Varget is manufactured in Australia by ADI and is branded as AR2208. I now use this powder almost exclusively in my 223 and 308, with great results. In my 223 I don't get quite the same velocities compared to other powders, however I do find my ES and SD numbers are much lower.
@ClarenceCochran-ne7du10 ай бұрын
Have you experimented much with bullet weights? I don't own a .308, but find Varget works well in my 1:8 twist barrels for 62 and 70 grain bullet weights. Not so well in my 1:7 twist 45-55 grain reloads. Even at 100 yards, the groups open up enough (nearly an inch), it's easy to predict group size further out. I need to get new screens for my old chronograph. The darned replacements cost nearly the price of a whole new system anymore.

Had 8lbs of Varget from the “before times” and I’ve been reloading a lot of 308. Also found a stash of Hornady .308 A-Max 208 grain bullets from an old 300 blackout project. Great combo in a 1:8 twist AR. Getting 1/2 groups all day at 100 yards. I love Varget. Thanks for highlighting such versatile powder.

@Lawraven3 жыл бұрын
Forgot to mention, the only problem I have with Varget is that its "stick" style of kernel doesn't meter very well through my hornady lock n load progressive powder dropper. It frequently "chops" the kernels (you can feel the crunch very clearly) and will then throw a 1/2 grain off either high or low. I end up having to set the meter low, then use a trickle feeder to get it to the right grain weight. No matter how carefully I clean the powder dropper and graphite coat the inner surfaces, it still crunches the stick-style powders. It does make loading Varget laborious, but I make the effort because it's a great powder.
@FMDad-dm5qo11 күн бұрын

Hi Gavin, I love your reloading video's in Australia. Just a little bit of trivia, I believe both Varget and Benchmark are both made in Australia by ADI Powders and re-badged as Hodgon Varget and Benchmark for sale in the U.S.A. In Australia Varget is sold as ADI AR2208 and Benchmark is called ADI Benchmark. My Lithgow LA105 in 308 likes both of them, but particularly loves "Varget" or 2208. Benchmark uses slightly less powder for roughly the same velocities but the groups aren't quite as tight as the groups using the Varget. All in all both powders are excellent though....

With that recipe, my handloads are as accurate as that factory ammo. This load is now my favorite for .308 for targets and game. I like Varget.

FMJ lightly crimped with a Lee FCD in the cannelure and 46gr. of Varget. Being a Service Rifle load it's light for a 30/06, 2720 fps. mv but it shoots very sub MOA out of my '42 Garand with a 1955 barrel. I load all my 308 and '06 with Varget and that Hornady FMJ for all my gas guns out to 300 yards, the only problem I have is I'm down to the bottom 3" of my last 8 lb. jug. Varget and H4895 are my favorites.

It all depends where you live and shoot. In Hawaii the number one powder is Varget and reloader 15. Most people in Hawaii use reloader 15 instead of Varget. The main reason is all of the people in the mainland buy up all of the Varget. So a lot of reloader 15 is available. Because we don't have temperature swings in Hawaii reloader 15 actually makes more sense. Through our testing using multiple calibers. Reloader 15 gives a higher FPS for the same charge weight. Which makes reloader 15 extremely popular here.

I've been looking for a few years for varget. Oddly enough last week I found a pound at sportsmans and a few days later at runnings. Wasn't shopping for it almost have given up looking and stumbled upon it and the price wasn't out of sight. Same thing they had primers and were very reasonable. $34 for the powder and $2.99 per 100 on the primers.

My .308 hates Varget, I can't get anything less than 1.5 inch groups at 100 with it. Get decent velocity but not groups. Tried different bullets and seating depths. Don't think I tried different primers. Great information about a powder most people like and get good groups with.

I use Varget in my 223 and Benchmark in my 308. I’ve got some great results with both.

@@teddanyluk4602 Great to meet you Ted, thanks for the information. I’m actually in Canada, and you wouldn’t believe how hard it is to find anything here these days. Been using CCI Small Rifle and have had great success with them. But even trying to get primers here is becoming difficult. Here in Canada, we were paying 30 cents a round for store bought 9mm cartridge when things were considered normal. I can make a 9mm round on my press for about 21 to 23 cents a 9mm cartridge, having said all that I can’t find small pistol primers anywhere at all right now. Cheap 223 store bought is 60 cents a cartridge. As if these crazy prices weren’t bad enough, the Canadian federal government has banned 1500 different semi automatics from legal gun owners. What a mess.

A quick note about the relative burn rates. There may be four or five or even 10 powders that are extremely close in burn rates, . The matrix doesn't show ties, or what the differences between the powders may be extremely close, and some may not be close at all. It's unfortunate the matrix does not have some type of mathematic equation like ballistic coefficient for bullets.
