I have been shooting h4895 with 28grs with some success. I don't know if Varget is even worth trying? I have 8lbs of Varget. Thought I might give it a try. 26gr of H4895 was weak and didn't cycle the gun. After 27gr it works well. Wondering about Varget. It would seem from looking in the Lee manual that I can expect about the same from Varget. Any wisdom you all would like to share?
