Varget is the perfect powder for shooting the 223 Remington with heavy bullets in competitive matches. Outstanding performance and velocity can be obtained in such popular cartridges as the 22-250 Remington, 308 Winchester, 30-06, 375 H&H and many more.

Made in Australia.

Review on purchase of Hodgdon Varget Powder

Posted by Harry Ward on Jun 7th 2025

I would like to thank Hodgdon for their support of the Sierra Cup Match at Bench Rest Rifle Club this year. My draw prize was for a $500 dollar certificate which i used to purchase the VARGET. I speak for all F-Class shooters when I say thank you to Hodgdon for their generous support.

Hodgdon Varget

I am a competitive shooter and I always count on Varget for my loads! Lot to lot consistency is great, It doesn't matter if I get a new lot of powder, I know I can run my favorite load and it will shoot great like it always does. Temp sensitivity is amazing, I shoot all year long and my velocity is always within 20 fps between winter and summer!

This is easily the best powder to use for BR case variants. Very temperature stabile as well as lot to lot consistency.

Varget is my absolute go to powder for .223/5.56 reloading. It measures consistently and I always pick some up when I find it available.

Easy to pour and measure, but about every other time I cycle my RCBS powder measure, it hangs up on a grain of powder. I don’t know if this would be the case with a non-extruded powder.

Best I've found for .223, .243, and 6.5mm for most all bullet weights.
