Varget is a good all round bottleneck case powder up to about 30.06 for bolt guns. Don't use it in a Garand the burn rate is off for action timing, it will work but its rough on the gun.

My 223 load for Varget and the AR is similar to what was already mentioned however it can be finicky to meter since its extruded.

I recently started working up a test load using TAC and I am very impressed with it. It meters much better then Varget and seems to burn a little cleaner. Its also about 3 bucks a pound cheaper then Vagret.

Its been pointed out that Varget will clean up a bit as you reach max loads but I rarely load that way.
