I need a 5.56x45mm 64gr Varget load. Thank you | ||

Well if you called it a 223 instead, more people would know what you are speaking of.. but as far as a charge... with Varget... start at 24.5 grains and work up to about 26.5 grains watching for pressure signs.. I don't think you will see any.. but I am just being extra safe in case you have a very tight chamber... and don't use mag primers.. small rifle will be just fine... | |||

I considered that, but I am actually hoping that some reloading manual has the higher pressure 5.56x45 load listed. (I know Hornady does, but they don't make a 64gr bullet.) BTW, why do you reccomend not using magnum primers. I know there is some question about accuracy with magnum primers, but are you talking about something else? | |||

Sierra makes 63 and 65 grain bullets but doesn't list Varget. There is one on Hodgdon's website, but it's what Vapodog already gave you. That's all I could find. LWD | |||

with Varget, Small Rifle Primers have always turned in better accuracy than Mag primers in ALL of my 223s... | |||

With Varget, you cannot stuff enough into a case to achieve 5.56 pressures if you wanted to. 27.5 gr is all I can get into a case and it is heavily compressed, although some claim to fit 28 gr inside the case somehow. I would be very careful trying to achieve 5.56 pressures. If you must, I would use once fired lake city brass and work up very carefully. | |||
