Re: Which Burns Cleaner? Varget or IMR 4895

Thanks JLA, I tryed AA2520 out for a different rifle and it didn't work out. But i never thought about trying it in a 243, When i get some time i'll have to see what it will do in my 243.

Re: Which Burns Cleaner? Varget or IMR 4895

I think IMR4895 might be just a little cleaner than varget but not by very much. I use varget in my HB 243 with a 70gr. berger bullet. And in my other 243 i use AA4064 with a 100gr. bullet for deer.
