Varget in dillon?

[Ryan500]

I know the book says no stick type powders, anyone loading 223 with varget on a dillon 650? How's that work out?

Sold my Dillon because it didn't work well with Varget. +/- 2 gr isn't close enough for me.

Loaded lots of different ammo with a Dillon powder measure and Varget on a 650, and also a 550. .223 and .308 are two examples, and have never had a problem.
My long range match ammo, however is loaded on a single stage press and each powder charge weighed electronically.

I'll give it a shot, weigh a bunch and see what's up.

Do a search on polishing Dillon powder measure, it helps a lot but I don't think it will ever be perfect. Mine works good enough for most loading chores, long range stuff will always be handled by chargemaster.

i tried it. 23.5 gr to 26 gr for a 69 gr speer. I ran a 100, and was checking every 5th round. there was some adjusting needed by the end of a 100 run. Recall it was on the lower end anyways, stayed in range, but ALWAYS did check the last one or two on accurate and calibrated digital scale this is just for AR shooting.

If i were doing precision, F-class and bolt action, i would weigh in a funnel and pour into each round.
