I can post some data tonite. Mine shoots Varget to the same velocity as RL15 with .5g less powder.

I use varget in my 6.5 creedmoor. It works really well with the 123gr sierras!! Lee

Grand, please do if you can. I would like to get some reloaded tomorrow morning. The weather is finally nice enough to go to the range. Been cool and rainy here in St Louis.

Here are my results with Varget, 123g Lapua Sceanrs (not SMK), Wolf mag primers from my 6.5x47L 26" Rock 1:8 twist, fired at 4000 ft elevation.
37.5g @ 2931 fps (6 SD)
37.8g @ 2948 (9 SD)
38.0g @ 2969 (7 SD)
38.2g @ 2985 (9 SD)
Good Luck.
