    Have you tried this? I have a brand new powder measure waiting to be filled.

    For me, I did minimal polishing just to remove the rough spots and be sure Varget would flow. Now you just need to hesitate at the bottom of thd downstroke. No tap necessary. You can also hear the powder flow into the case.

    Varget is hard to beat as an overall powder. One of my 308's im using Varget with 168 VLD's as a hunting gun and my other 308 im using Power Pro 2000mr and shooting 185 hybrids but it would shoot Varget well also, just wanted a little more speed with the heavy bullets so i went with power pro.
