Varget and 77gr TMK’s

[andybrock]

I’ve been using RS52 in my 22br with 77gr tmk’s just loaded the last 40 rounds with it, tucked away at the back of my cupboard I found 5 tubs of varget that I might as well use up, anyone used varget with the heavier 22 bullets?  I’ve also got a 1:8  223 that I plan on using the same 77gr tmk bullet in.

I had good results using Varget in 223Rem pushing 77TMK.

Taken from the Sierra reloading manual.

Bullet: Sierra 69 gr Match King
C.O.A.L.: 2.020"

Powder Varget (gr): 24.3; 25.6; 26.9; 28.2; 29.5; 30.1; 30.8.

Bullet: Sierra 80 gr Match King

So with the 77 gr TMK, it will be something in-between the two charge ranges.
