I have Varget, BLC-2, RELOADER 10, H-322, and Benchmark powders does anyone know of any good and safe min-max charge ranges for any of these bullet/powder combinations. I'm looking more for accuracy than velocity. The rifle I will be loading for is a Savage 10fp .223 1:9" twist barrel. I thought about starting around 23 or 24 grains of Varget but, thought maybe someone here has already had experience loading this particular bullet and I want to be safe. Thanks for all advice.
 
www.hodgdon.com shows a minimum charge of 24.0gr of Varget with a 69gr Sierra HPBT, and 26.0 as a maximum charge. Those numbers will also be fine with the Hornady 68gr match, especially using a starting load. You'll probably have compressed loads working up, and that's ok.

You have a decent selection of powders to choose from if your Varget loads prove less than stellar.
