Anyone try Varget in the 30-06? I noticed that there is some published loads for the 30-06 and Varget seems to be pretty consistent in all types of temps. Might make a good hunting load.
Here's whats listed for Varget.
165 GR. SIE SPBT VARGET 50.5 2873 49,700 CUP
And here's the powder I have been using. Its IMR 4350.
165 GR. SIE SPBT
IMR 4350 .308" 3.300" 56.0 2746 48,100 PSI 60.0C 2934 57,600 PSI
Seems the Varget has only 80fps less but the PSI cup is almost 8,900psi lower. Might be worth the time to give it a try since I use it in my 22-250 and .223 loads.
Anyone try it yet?
