I just got back from the store were I bought some Varget. From looking at Lees reloading manual and Hodgdon manual, it shows that for a 50 gr. bullet, out of my .223 remington, to use 27.5 grains of powder. It doesn't give any other numbers. Should I use only that amount? Can I reduce the load to start or do you have to use exactly 27.5 grains of powder?
