6ARC bolt action pet load?

I have been running Varget and TAC for my 22" Howa Mini. I can get my hands on Lever but I am building loads for hunting. Temp sensitivity here in Tennessee could be a factor.

I am getting acceptable velocity for hunting with Varget and TAC. Is there a potential for better accuracy with Lever? I am on the fence if I want to pick up a lb of Lever and do a ladder or just get a lb of powder that is already working and a box of 108 ELDMs.

I'd stay with Varget since it's in the top 2 for temp stability. Hunting season is around the corner and I'm waiting on a sub 70° day to test my rifles that are using either Varget or H4350.
 
Not sure how many of you saw this release a while back, but thought I'd share. I use Alpha brass in a few cartridges and it's great. I snagged a few for the 6 ARC. Now I'm trying to figure out which direction to go for a bolt action build.

I really like Varget in the 6 ARC. 27.5 grains is compressed but I get good SDs and accuracy. I get around 2700 FPS with my 22" barrel and can. 10 shot group size is 1-1.25" at 100 yards, so more than acceptable for hunting.

I have their SRP 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor brass. Good stuff. I may jump on it once I go through my Hornady and Starline.
