Varget alternative

[Moorland plinker]

Morning guys I've used varget for years and my stock is dwindling down to my last 2 tubs ,I could either pay a kings ransom for more ,or find an alternative,I run it in 22-250 55 GRN bullets,I believe that some of the rs powder is similar just looking to see if anyone has done any development and wouldn't mind sharing there results.

Hi,
I’ve got an unopened Varget. £60, but I’m near Manchester.
Do you know anyone that comes this way anytime?
Alternately, I might be coming to Livens sometime in the not too distant future.
Cheers, Ken.

Where would you pay a King's ransom, not sure it can be legally imported!
Your barrel length and twist rate might might help people advise!

RS52 or Norma 202
RS60 is just a bit too hot
