My next project is to develop a 200 yard deer/hog load for cast in a 30-06. To me, that means I would like to drive the 198 grain Noe version of the RCBS 180 grain flat nosed, gas checked 30 caliber bullet at about 2000 FPS. I have on hand 4198, 4895 and Varget in rifle powders and if there were a compelling case for doing so I would be willing to buy a pound of something else (if I can find it local). I was thinking of starting with Varget simply because I actually have two pounds of it and Lyman gives data for 195 and 200 grain boolits with this powder. Which of the 3 powders I have on hand would you pick? If none of them are suitable, which powder would you go out and buy?
