Varget is a great powder for a garand. Been using it for years. About the same burn rate as 4064. It is not too slow. Once you get to a powder like 4350 that is too slow. I run 46 gr of varget under a 168 gr Sierra or Nosler at 3.30” OAL with a CCI primer. Works in all my 30-06 garands. If I am loading 150 or 155 gr bullets I generally use H4895 or 4895 as it seems to work better with the lighter bullets. But once I get to 168 or 175 I only use Varget.
