I would only use Varget behind a projectile up to 168 gr with a barrel that short. Other wise, IMR 4350 from 150 gr on up is the world standard, I have had pretty good luck with H4831 out of a 24 in barrel but you wanna watch for pressure spikes above a 168 gr bullet if you plan to lean on it!
I honestly haven't pushed mine that hard, a 180 Scirocco at 2910 ish is plenty fast enough for every thing I would ever need!
That's one of the biggest reasons I sold the .300 Win Mag and never embraced the 7 mm mag, not enough difference to make a difference at practical, and ethical hunting distances!Its really amazing how little the extra fps really means. 99% of us cant hold within that difference in the field.

I can. As far as you know.Its really amazing how little the extra fps really means. 99% of us cant hold within that difference in the field.

It always looks outstanding until I retrieve the target.1%er
In all Honesty, I never saw any gains between .30/06 and .300 Win Mag. Both have equal penetration with the exact same bullet, and while the .300 is around 150 fps faster, it makes zero difference in performance. More powder, more recoil, more expensive brass, and what, 2% increase in performance? If even that!!!
I miss typed, I meant a 165 Gr Scirocco at 2910 using Vihtavuori N550 through a 27 inch barrel 03 Springfield semi bull barrel match. 180 gr I see about 2720 using the same powder!That is smokin hot! What powder and barrel length?
