Description
Hodgdon VARGET® is an extruded propellant in Hodgdon’s Extreme series, built for handloaders who value consistent performance across hot and cold conditions. Its small extruded grains support uniform metering, while its higher energy can provide improved velocities compared with other powders in its burning-speed class.
Varget ignites quickly and burns clean. Hodgdon describes this combination as translating to superb accuracy, higher scores, and more clean, one-shot kills. At the bench, those are practical qualities: reliable powder handling, clean-burning performance, and a propellant designed for precision-minded rifle loading.
For competitive shooters, Varget is described as the perfect powder for .223 Remington with heavy bullets in match applications. It also delivers outstanding performance and velocity in popular cartridges including .22-250 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06, and .375 H&H, along with many more applications supported by published load data.
Made in Australia, Hodgdon VARGET is offered in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers. As with any propellant, use only current published Hodgdon data for your specific cartridge, bullet, and components, and follow all label precautions.

Excellent powder. Works well shooting cast bullet competitions.

Varget for the Win!
In shoot a .308 Win and am impressed how well Varget performs, especially in 168gr class bullets. I frequently achieve single digit SD’s and narrow ES’s. I am certain it will perform in similar capacity cartridges but I can only speak for .308 now.

Varget
Powder of choice for the Legendary .308. It weighs out easy and isn't bad about static in the funnel!

Great powder for high velocity
I’ve used Varget in 223, 22-250 and a few other high velocity rounds. It’s consistent and easy to use.
