Just in case my pic is too out of focus, that was shot at 100 yrds. The bullets are 69 grain Sierra Matchking with 24 grains Varget. Brass is mixed and I don't remember what brand of primers I used. I think if you look at a loading manual that load is somewhat a middle of the road load.

It was shot with my Win. Model 70 Heavy Varmit in .223 of course.

Right now, I'm putting 26.5 grains of Varget under 60gr Sierra HP's. Haven't got them on paper yet, at least not in the target sense, but they are pretty warm, and seem to cycle well.

Varget has given excellent results in my AR's,4895 is also excellent.I use them in .308, 30-06 for my Garand and .223.I don't have access to my records right now at work but Varget is fantastic in the accurracy dept. and also functions the gas systems.

I use it w/ 55 gr vmax and get very good accuracy as shootinpreacher can attest to. He shot a bunch of prairie dogs at 300 yrds with my savage 112 bvss a few weeks ago. If you want a specific load, pm me and I'll get it for you. Shoots on a dime at 100 with that rifle.
