Varget?

#1 Post by paxtond »

Hi guys.

Going to driving the length of the country in the morning and in major need of some varget.

Does anybody know of any uk stock, looking to get as close to 10lbs as possible ( I can dream lol )

Thanks

Why bother with Varget when TR140 will do all you need at 20% cheaper and a lot easier to get hold of.

Continued poor availability of US powders is one of the reasons why I converted to european powders years ago, Vihtavuori mostly and some Vectan. Usually a bit cheaper and every bit as good with a fine range of burning rates for every application.

Agreed, bought one tub of Varget when I got my .308, switched to N140/TR140 and never looked back :good:

A lot of my fellow club members (serious F classers) are shooting N540. Me I use N140 in just about everything.

Another vote for tr140! Or there are several products in the ramshot range that are very close to varget in burn rate

I'm told that Andy Hobbs at Midsomer Norton has about 20Lb of Varget on the shelf at the moment.
