[QUOTE="vooduchikn, post: 2026327, member: 24535"] I may give that powder a shot after I burn through my Varget. 5.56 is what got me into varget, very consistent provided metering was good. My main concern was working up a max load during the winter months and then having it be over pressure in the summertime. I am trying to get consistency in my hunting rounds. I haven't got into bench rest shooting, but it sounds like fun. I hear you on the Varget and metering, its not to bad, but I have noticed some variance. A trick I was told by a Dillon tech was to attached a vibratory device, to the top of the powder measure and turn it on while you are loading, this vibrates the poweder measure and keeps the powder moving. Apparently like stacking logs in a truck vice just throwing them in. He uses a vibrating denture cleaning device, but you can use your imagination. I am pretty sure the 26XX FPS I am getting out of 44gnrs Varget is plenty for whitetale, hogs, and the occasional coyote. Being a relatively softshooter is a bonus as well. I may load up some more up to the max and try them at the Georgia range to see how they do because I would like to get the most out of my reloads. I have a bunch of Sierra 165 Gamekings and some Lapua brass that should be here today. I have heard great things about the 165 SGK. [/QUOTE]
