Reloading help

[txhoghunter73]

My varget supply is getting low, and I'm looking to cook a load up with the 65 grain Sierra GameKing in my .223 Remington so I thought I'd give this new powder a shot. The issue is I cannot find any data around for this combo. Any tips?

[Cajun Blake]

do you need load data for Varget ?

or looking for an alternative powder comparable to Varget ?

[yanta61]

what is your new powder?

[txhoghunter73]

Oops my bad. I should have mentioned that, I picked up imr 4166 part of the new enduron line.

From their website, it's for the 63 gr gameking so start 5% lower and work up.

anyone else

[txhoghunter73]

in case anyone else was wondering, the data for the 63 grain SGK and the data for the 65 grain SGK are the same.

24.5gr - 26.4gr with Varget

21.7gr - 23.7gr with IMR 4166

That's good to know. When I was looking for load data for the 65 SGK I couldn't find anything...so I split the difference between the 63 and 69. They shoot amazing out of my Savage 12 with IMR 3031.

I wish. I live west of Austin though. Thanks for the offer.

Tex-Guns on Manchaca has lots of powder. They may have Varget. They did a few weeks ago.
