I've never loaded anything but Varget for any .223/5.56. All loads, all rifles, all bullet weights, I've always loaded pretty much the same powder quantity & it's been across the board accurate. 24gn just seems to work!
However, in these times of strife & woe (which I imagine are only going to get worse...) I cannot find any. Anywhere. Same with cfe223, 8208 or any of the well known & published powders.
I do have a few pounds of old IMR4320 that came with a .458 win mag which, looking at the burn rate charts, is just a hair slower than Varget & I would imagine is suitable. I know I'll have to work up a load (suuuuuuucks!) but I have it & I don't use it for anything else.
Anyone loaded it before? Any 'easy-fix, works-in-everything' loads to try? I'm not looking for match winning, long range benchrest accuracy, just average hunting to 300yds (1.5moa is fine) accuracy.
