The comments about light loads of Varget were on a thread here regarding the 7.5x55, my remembery is trying to tell me.
I have some 165 gr pb cast that I am trying to work up loads for a .30/06. I have tried the slower powders from an old Lyman book and gotten poor results. Can you suggest a good load using H4895 with 165 gr plain base bullets?
