    Varget

    I got a great deal on several pounds of Varget powder this weekend. Does anyone have any experience with it in handloads for their Lee Enfields? Any suggested loads?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    I have shot Varget in my 308 for over ten years. Out to 600 yards. Very clean burning and produces highly accurate loads.

    Try Lee's Reloading Manual(maybe online) for 303 load data.

    I think you will be happy with all that Varget. I've used it with very good results in my .303.
