Showing you how I put a ladder load test together.

I let myself run out of powder on New Years weekend after my mom and pop shop had closed, so I went to Academy, only to find they do not stock Varget. My plans to do some reloading over the long weekend turn to doing load development with yet another powder. The results are mediocre, but the exercise is good.

At my last posting I had put together some ladder loads for BLC(2), CFE223 and Varget powders for the 223 62gr Everglades FMJs. With the hot weather behind me I set in cranking out rounds until I was out of powder. No problem, I'll just stop by the new Academy and pickup a pound of Varget which had produced my most accurate load to date. Except Academy did not have Varget, they didn't have an empty bin location for Varget either. Let the mental gymnastics begin. Let's see, what else is popular for 223 that I haven't experimented with?
