Also there are two loadings for the .223/5/56 and the AR15 rifles have longer throats and different length gas systems. That being said my Savage .223 with a 1in9 twist has a longer throat than my AR15 rifles do. Meaning the load data for most bolt actions have a 1in12 or 1in14 twist and a shorter throat.

Varget is great powder but is tricky to meter.
I have been having good results with IMR 8208, I also just picked up some Dominion 8208 from Canada Ammo at a good price but havent used it yet.
Supposedly there is an awesome load for 77gr using 8208 that I intend to try out when I get time.

The D4895 is longer stick and doesn't meter as well as H4895. Is the 8208 long stick as well? Otherwise the d4895 I've used successfully in 22/250 through to 30/06 and it is an excellent powder.
The 4064ssc is shorter and meters better.
