Varget

[radio2]

Well I finely got 8 LBS. of Varget but I can't find any load data for it, Looking to load 223 REM. 62 gn FMJBT. I have checked hodgon, Speer #14, Sierra V and all I find is data on 55, 69 and larger. I see alot of posts here about how good Varget is and now I have some and can't find load data for 62gn.

Sierra manual: 60gr HP grains/fps 24.3/2600, 25.0/2700, 25.7/2800, 26.4/2900, 26.7/2950, 27.1/3000

These are AR15 loads. Should give you a place to start.
