Have been doing some load development with a RUGER #1 - .223 and at this point Varget seemed to be a bit better then the other powders tested.
Guess if I can't hit "it" with a 3/4" group, I would have likely missed anyway.
My local shop didn't have any Varget and their other stores under the same owner ship were in the same condition. Nothing on the shelf, powder on order and who knows when it might arrive.
So, I checked my usual sources of Midway, Midsouth and Natchez and same thing, nothing!
Then thought I'd check Powder Valley and bingo, Varget available - yesterday - in both 1 and 8lb. containers.
They also had the Hornady V-Max 55gr bullets in stock in the 250count boxes, so my order is on the way. Should be here next week
Anyway, if looking for powder, don't forget to check with Powder Valley.
