I recently purchased a custom 300 win mag that was chambered for a 220gr bullet. I would like to use varget since I order that in mass bulk for all my .308 and .223's. Just didnt see it possible with a 220gr smk bullet. Can anyone tell me why or why not? I would like to experiment with it if it is safe and try to work up a load so I can keep everything simple in my reloading room.
Anyone use Varget in .300 WM with 220gr SMK?

Varget burns too fast. It's not applicable. H1000, r22, retumbo, h4831 just to name a few ,are all good powders for that sized bullet.

That is what I gathered. So my new debate is H1000 or Retumbo. Retumbo seems to be a bit more stable and cleaner. Any thoughts?

I've run them both, & Retumbo is a little more temp sensitive, & is dirty compared to H-1000.
