That, and reading all the Varget post! 
I am amazed at the combinations that folks use Varget for - just cuz it will shoot, doesn't mean it's a good load.
Well, continue to be amazed then, Catshooter! I have shot many thousands of rounds of .223 ammo loaded with Varget and the 50 grain Vmax or Ballistic Tip bullet and will continue to do so. Very accurate, low pressure and have lots and lots of dead ground squirrels and prairie dogs to show for it. Sure, I could get another 100 FPS or so with a different powder perhaps but who the heck cares? Certainly the critters that I have shot do not and I just love getting those dime sized 100 yard 5 shot groups.
If you don't like it that's just jake with me. My guns love it and therefore that's all the reason for me to keep using it.
