Hodgdon Varget Smokeless Powder 1lb Hodgdon Varget is a smokeless rifle powder in Hodgdon's Extreme series. It is an extruded powder with small, uniform grains designed for consistent metering. The manufacturer describes it as insensitive to hot and cold temperatures, which is one of the reasons it has a strong following among competitive and precision rifle handloaders. This 1 lb canister is a practical choice for shooters who want a smaller quantity for load development, testing, or lower-volume use. Varget is commonly associated with cartridges such as .223 Remington with heavy bullets, .22-250 Remington, .308 Winchester, .30-06 Springfield, and .375 H&H Magnum. Those are general use examples only. Always use published load data for your exact cartridge and bullet combination. Hodgdon notes that Varget ignites quickly and burns clean. It is described as producing higher energy for improved velocities compared to other powders in its burning-speed class. Smokeless powder is a hazardous material. It ships ground only to the contiguous US, a hazmat fee applies, and adult signature is required. This product cannot be returned. For load data, use Hodgdon's published data and manuals, start low, and work up carefully while watching for pressure signs.
