VArget is rough on 17 Throats, washes out 6-8" of barrel.
24g of 4320 with a 25g Berger, Rem 7 1/2 was my accuracy load for a long, long time, hunting partners also. Then we switched to Win 760 with a zero freebore reamer.
Later on, we switched to 22.0g of H322 for a velocity of 3850, shot strings got longer without copper fouling out the barrel, and the carbon amount was sure less.
Here are pics with a little over 1000 rounds of varget with 20g fired, Lilja barrel
