Hi Texas10: Thanks for your response. Lots of "views" but lack of responses always leaves me wondering why not a lot of opinions...
BTW- I'm always 'crowing' about something LOL.
Don't know the main reason I usually shoot only 3 except that my gun only holds 4 rounds (blind mag, etc)- I do shoot 4 often; three rounds lets me "see" center of group if there is a spread; If I have shots outside the group I know which shot it was-determine if I blew it and finally here in Pa. where you can use centerfire cartridges, you can only load three. NOW- when I finally get a hunt out west for prairie dogs or ground chucks I'l probably wish I did do some 5 and ten round strings. I do shoot relatively fast, though- try to keep it as "real world" as possible.
I will do some 4 round shot strings to verify the Varget load.
RE: Varget- my thinking was that it's the powder that I have the most of and it is slightly faster than the burn rate of Winchester 748 which I've had terrific results using. However, W748 is a ball powder and is reportedly very temperature sensitive. I guess I figured since it burned slightly faster that the 748 it might be good.
I DO use it in my .308 and so far behind Hornady 155 Gn AMax and 130 Gn. Speer HP it is phenomenally accurate and consistent!
THANKS again for your comments- I'll do an update next week when I can get out to "verify" loads.
