[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3048762, member: 15054"] I found Varget gave me good groups "Cloverleaf" at 17 degrees outside. When temps hit 55 my groups opened to 1"+. I must say though this was with 60gr V-Max and CCI400 primers I believe or 550. 24.5 gr 25.0, 25.5 gr all shot under .85" with varget in 17 degree temps. None of those shot tight in the heat..Dennis may have better luck. For me I use H4895 with CCI 450 primers.. shoots the same sub freezing to 100+. Maybe the CCI 450 did the trick. I never revisited Varget. As far as metering goes Varget and H4895 do not meter well. But if you are weighing the powder on your scale then all is good. If you want some varget to try I have some I will give you to try for free. For just plinking loads that you can run through a powder measure BL-C2 meters really well. I have never used CFE223. Yes Gene sears in elreno. I 40 west exit highway 81 go north past the loves gas station. about 50 yards on the right is a gravel drive. That is the place back behind a house. You would miss it if you did not know where it was. Here is a read with pictures on my Varget testing and my savage axis. when it was cold outside.
