I don't agree, Varget is not too slow. It's burn rate is very close to or the same as IMR 4064 depending on weather and powder lot. There are an awful lot of professional long range shooters that use Varget and have for years. The main advantage of Varget is it's temperature stability. Under actual firing conditions using a 22" barrel and 168gr bullets there will be less than 100 fps (more like 50 fps in most cases) difference in muzzle velocity between Varget and IMR 4895 and the chamber pressures will be very close to the same.

1. Never touch primers.
2. If one falls on the floor toss it.
3. If one falls on the tabel toss it.
Don't ask me how I know.
