Read this about it... "The best new powder since Varget". That's quite a statement. I really like Varget.

I tried this in my savage max hunter creedmoor and my rem 7/08.Got less than book velocities .And less than I got from my normal loads.

I have found that the books and the manufacturers are liberal with their velocities and conservative with their loads. I can't ever recall getting the velocities listed with the loads given.

I assume with the high SD's your groups may have suffered too (?).

Thanks for the info. I may copy and print out your data sheet for my records if you don't mind. Good stuff.

:)

I wonder if a magnum primer would make a difference?:unsure:

I don't mind.put it up in case someone wanted to compare their results with mine.
The next time I shoot the creed I will try a group with the mag primers.
I want to try it in my 22/250 next soon as I get a chance.
