I had tried Varget once before and was not impressed and gave the remainder of that pound to a co-worker. I decided to try it again last year in preparation for deer season, pretty much the same results as before so I'll shoot it up but won't be buying anymore. In .257 Roberts, .30-06 and .35 Whelen my powder choices are IMR 4064, IMR 4350 and RL-15 in that order.
