Varget is way too slow. Best powders will be on the fast end such as Lil Gun, 1680, 110/296, RL7, and 4198. My main issue was trying to figure out why Hodgdon listed Lil Gun only with rifle data and did not show a single load for pistol. My friend has loaded 4198 for 30 years, but the new powders seem to get much more velocity within safe working pressure.
