I was not impressed with Varget for the 8mm Mauser. I loaded some 150 grain Hornady flat based bullets and I do not know if it was the powder or the bullet and maybe it was a combo of both that produced the poor accuracy. The 150 grain bullets were all I could find at the time and I think they were too light. They seemed awfully stubby and I think the Mausers like a near 200 grain loading for good accuracy.

My Mauser loves Turk surplus and will put it into 2 inches at 100 yards with open sights. My next batch of reloads will be as close a duplicate of that load as I can find.
