Varget lot to lot changes

[burnzpowder]

With Varget 8lb'ers being in short supply until June, I am buying all the one pound can's I can get.and of course they are all diferrent lots. Does anyone have any reliable data they can post about changes they have observed in velocities when changing from lot to lot. Is there a significant change and how much in just your 100 yd zero.

varget is pretty stable lot to lot. do you still have any of the 8lb jugs left? if so, pour 8-1 lb into it and mix well. Just rotate the jug over and over and over.

Do you have chronograph?

When you start with new lot #, load up 3 rounds and put those over chrono. Adjust powder charge accordingly. Every 1 lb'er is a different lot #?

Would take one hell of a change in velocity to change your 100 yd zero.

Couple tenths of a grain (+ / -)is all I've ever need to maintain same velocity when changing lot #s of Varget.

I buy cases of Varget in one pound bottles, and they are the same lot number. 10 bottles to one case
