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.

Great stuff
Varget works great in several rounds I shoot including 308win, 6mm br and 6mm dasher. It is also not affected by the heat here in Central Florida. It's great stuff.

Varget
Accurate powder for .223 or 22-250

Varget.
The current lot purchased this May, has produced 1/2 in 3 round groups with 175 gr fmjbt @ 100 yard with Hodgdon starting load in 1-10 18in barrel. Yes, that's better than tac!

300 yd benchrest
Consistent, meters well. Wish it was easier to find.

6mm Workhorse
As most alreaAy know, this powder is the gold standard for many accuracy loads in the 6 BR through the 6 Dasher and even the .308. I just wish there was more available to meet the growing demand.

Varget Works Well
It's no surprise to anyone I'm sure that a 6br likes varget. My experience has been the same. Good accuracy and precision with very good velocity.

Varget vs H4350
Both are consistent and outstanding powder. I shoot a lot and have burned a lot more 4350 in my 6.5 creedmoor. Recently I built a 6GT and used both Varget and H4350. The only issues I have are availability. But both are excellent powder!
