Varget is a great powder & almost boringly very accurate.
But sorry, it's time has come & gone in the 223/5.56.....................it's considerably slower, velocity wise, than is attainable with other powders & is horrible through a powder feed, especially in a relatively small case where variations matter more than in a large case.
Maybe for the competitor who hand weighs or trickles his charges & wants/need the very last drip of accuracy, but for everyday Joe for plinking & general shooting, even in SPR type rifles, there are numerous much better choices today.

When Varget came out in 1995 I bought in big time..........enough to last me until just a couple years ago.
The original Varget was absolutely the do all anything in 223/5.56
When I ran out a couple years ago I bought a new 8#'er and found out quickly it is not the same powder. The original was not the "EXTREME" that is on the packaging of today.
to find other powders that work I use VVN133 or Benchmark for 55grainers , for heavies IMR8208XBR or RL15
