I've tried every Berger projectile on the planet for a 1:9" twist Savage rifle in .223Remington.  Although some worked great, this one was not one of the great one.  Tried Varget and BL-C(2) from starting loads all the way though maximum(and a little beyond)...no luck.  Every rifle is different, and your rifle may actually like one of the two powders I used...

If Varget doesn't give you the accuracy you are looking for the best powder for heavier bullets is Ramshot Tac, very clean burning and very consistent with heavy bullets.:thumbs:
