Varget was my most-used powder in the three 30-30 AI barrels I had. Like you said, with the results it gave, I found little need for anything else. I did have one load in a 23" SS barrel that used H380. It only generated 2400 fps with 150 grain Nosler BTs but was one of the most accurate 30-30 AI loads I have ever found. The hogs never noticed the difference between it and the faster Varget loads ha ha.
