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.

Varget
I have used Varget for many years and always get excellent results. This powder provides consistently good velocity in all temperature conditions.

Most reliable by far!
I reload and shoot all year long. This powder is the most consistent powder I've used, From 20 degree weather up to 110 degree weather. A real unicorn.

Varget
Varget is an extremely versatile powder. I use it for 223/556, and 22-250, and have been very satisfied so far . I'm going to try it for some different loads in 270 Winchester .

Good results in .223, .308 Win and .30-'06. Glad I bought a large can before things got tight.

Varget, One great powder!!
I shoot Varget in my NRA F Class rifle, the accuracy and velocity consistency is second to NONE! I have been able to get the velocity standard deviation down to single digits. People have said that I beat there scores on the reloading bench. Varget is a key part of that!
