So I burned up the Varget on cast lead rejects to set up fools needing to part with their money at the range.

Gas gun shooters are usually the easiest pickings. They see a 4" group at 50-100 yards and think they can beat it. They can sometimes. If you act like Gomer Pyle (sincerely) you can actually raise the stakes fairly high. That's when the real chitt gets loaded in case you didn't see it coming.

Matter of fact I'm pretty much a slut for Alliant stick powders across the board, but admit I've not used them all. RE7, 10, 12, 15, 19, 22, 25 is as far as I've gone with it.

I also use a lot of Li'l Gun, 2400, 4227, Int'l Clays, 4350, 231, Bullseye, H380, H335, Unique, Blue Dot, Red Dot, Forehead Dot etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.......and on and on and on.

Always wanted to try some of the Ramshot powder line but have too much of the other chitt to use...one of these days...

I still have and use a lot of Varget, running it in 3 different rifles tomorrow, in fact. R15 has worked well, too.

Ramshot Big Game has been damn good in the '06 and the .30-40, and I want to try it in the .308 at some point.
