Naw not knock'n, just telling the trueth. Being right is not alway popular.
Powder cost is powder cost, so why is there this thing for Varget, as a do all powder?
Does Justin Beaver strike your fancy? Did'nt think so. Why the fad thing with varget?
If you want to just reload to hear your gun go boom and kill well.... something, then go ahead.
If you own a 22-250, or the AI version, step out into the powder world and get more specific.
In my view, varget has actually a very narrow window of usefulness across a wide range of cartridges. That is for another day, but in this case with a 22-250 AI, while varget might be accurate, other more productive powders should be used IMO.
As I have said IMR-4007ssc, or Alliant Reloader 17 should be looked at for a nice velocity accuracy combination.
I am a hard a$$ about this stuff. If varget was a mainstream consumable, it would be for sale in the "as seen on tv" section at Wal-Mart.
Not trying to ruffle feathers out there, but for the 22-250, and AI there are much more productive powders, that cross over as well.
If varget works for you, and you are happy then good on you, but you are missing out on the accuracy, velocity potential of this cartridge. IMO. Especially in the Improved form.
