Kinda looks like a handloaded Sierra Gameking with about 54 grains of IMR 4064, but just a guess.

Looks like Varget to me.

Doesn't look like varget to me all the varget I've seens been darker, almost black.

In my experience if you know the bullet you are ahead of the game. I have been able to get 1 bullet to work equally well with 3 powders. Load development with each was done.

My first guess on the powder would be Varget due to the gold coating color. Problem is color can be off in your picture. My Varget has never been that bright.

If you know the powders you can probably differentiate between them. The would be a multiple choice type answer.

If you have no limit as to what powders then it is a wide open essay question.

Consult some loading manuals to see if Varget is a safe sensible powder for the load. You have bullet weight & charge weight so that helps.

Guessing loads is a good way to hurt yourself or your rifle.
Either buy some known factory ammo or hand-load your own.

Since they were basically freebies, you could pull 'em, and have free Sierra GK bullets, free brass, and good flower bed fertilizer. Then you can make your OWN!
