Loading density is one of the advantages of Varget as it is a very bulky powder. 60 grains is a compressed load in the 45-70. The Aussies came up with something on this powder. Nickel plated cases just look good and do not tarnish the way unplated brass does. I just do not see any need for a bullet heavier than 350 grains for North American game. At 2,000fps the energy is 3K. The trajectory is flatter than a heavier bullet also, unless the fps is really pushed up. I can understand the fun part of reloading and experimenting with heavier bullets and longer cases, but I have always had more fun shooting with a good proven load that is absolutely reliable on game. Has anyone experimented with Varget in the longer cases? Thanks.
