No luck finding Varget so with only a pound left, decided to open the vault and try something different. Settled on burning up some IMR Enduron 4451 that I bought a few years ago .... so started load development for the two rifles I will use to hunt Antlered Elk (30-284) and Antlered Mule Deer (6.5 X 47L). The 4451 dialed in very quick with the ‘47 and I am encouraged with the early potential shown in the ‘30 which has handles Varget reasonably well. Being short on powder, I can justify shooting 3 shot groups
