I haven't had any problems with Varget metering, but I haven't tried it in .223 yet, only loaded .243WSSM but it shouldn't make any difference.
I did learn some new powders some of you are using. I'll be watching to see how you like them.

Idle I 've got 2 .223s both bolt guns a Rem sps w/1 in 12 twist and a Savage w/1 in 9 twist. I use Benchmark and bullets 55gr. and under in the Rem ,it likes 40gr best.

I run 68gr Hornadys in the Savage model 10 LE, 20 in barrel. I find the Hornady to be less $$ than Sierra . I load 25.5 gr Varget w / the 68 s. I'm shooting steel plates at RCGC out to 500m off a portable bench. Chrony avg 2910.
