This is not the first time that I read this nor will it be the last I suppose, but it makes me laugh every time.
I wish that I had a count of all of the thousands of ground squirrels/prairie dogs that I have taken with this "worthless" combo. No bullet weight was heavier than 50 grain. Cliff's Safes in Boise has a target that I shot with this worthless combo on display. 5 in one hole that you can't push a pencil through without tearing the paper. Used a Nosler Ballistic Tip for that one too- a 50 grainer.
I have tried quite a few other powders other than Varget in my .223 rifles and just about all of them are sitting on the shelf more than half full still. I'm going to quit messing around and just keep buying those 8 lb jugs of Varget from Powder Valley a couple of times a year. It sure does work for me.
