Savage99, I have tried Varget in my gun. I get 70fps slower than the 4064 and accuracy is just so so. However, my 6BR digest Varget very well with the 65g.
"When it was first introduced to the handloader, benchrest shooters and other target shooters made it an instant success."
When the BL-C(not2)first came out, if was just the BLC or some refering to as the BLC1, that's a great powder and was an instant scucess among the benchrest chooters, if you can find any of the BL-C today, you better hold on to it, I've seen people paid up to $80/lb 10~15 years ago. Hodgdon tried to ride on the coat tail of BLC's scucess with the BLC2, which they claim it's the same, in that case why call it BLC-2 ??
BLC-2 may be good for 223 in the early 80s, but there are way better powder selection for the 223 now days. My biggest complain is I find it to be very dirty, I certaintly would not put if through an AR. But that is just me and your exprience may differ
