N133--tell me about it

[rockhound78]

First I have ever bought. A 2 lb container. I understand it works well for 6mmbr, but what other cartridges? 6mm BRX, 7mmBr, 223Ai?

 

[Mark M.]

20 Practical 5 shot @100yrds with N-133 and 39gr Blitzkings

 

[Dub]

it is particularly good in smaller capacity cases

 

[Bill Norris]

6PPC is great with N-133 as well.

 

[chkunz]

It is the Sierra accuracy load powder for their 223 52 grain SMK. Based on 100 yard bench rest testing, I use that load for 100 yard XTC reduced course matches.

 

[Tesoro]

20P 4 shots 39BK. N133 in my pacnor 3 groove. 18x Swaro. I dont have any and cant find for my 6br but have vgt so gonna play with it. My best group ever.

should quit on the 4th shot!!! like I did

N133 was my standard powder back when I shot 52/53s in 223 Rem. Good in 222 Rem too. Nowadays, I mostly use it in 6.5 Grendel with 120/123s. These are all applications with fairly low case capacity to bore area ratios, as are the classic BR 6PPC application and @tesoro's .20P. Other cartridges with these sorts of ratios include many large-calibre straight-wall numbers such as 45-70 where N133 is again useful.

Im going to try it in my 6x45 as soon as i can make a trip to the range.

 

[Benchrest Braxton]

magic juice in my 223 rem 700 factory chamber. used to be benchmark but newer lots are too slow to give me the velocities i used to get.

manufacture load data suggests n135 would be a better powder (for case fill and good velocity) for the bullets i am running.

but I have great case fill with n133, matches my older lots of benchmark, pushing a 53 grain to 3500, and no pressure signs and could still go up more if i wanted to.

i would assume you’d have equally great luck in your ai.

Never heard of anyone that I know use N133 in a 6BR. It's a tad too fast. N135 works well in a 6BR.

Along with N140, N150, N550 and Varget for the 6BR

And, I like H4895. Not that I can get any. I may have just enough for one two day match?

 

[Murray Brook]

Tried both 135 and 140 in my 6br. Both work great although not quite as good as AR-Comp so far.

 

[skeeljc]

N133 is excellent in the .222 Remington and the .223/5.56.

 

[Bill Norris]

N-133 works really well with the 30BR and heavier 125 gr. class bullets.

 

[AckleymanII]

223 and 223 AI with BR-4 primers, 50g Bullets, incredible speed with accuracy in the extreme!

N135 with the 55's, 3700 in my 12T, zero freebore, 27" 223 AI with nosler ballistic tips and Speer 55g TNT.

You will need a thick cup primer, cci br-4 is a thick cup, and I got better accuracy with the BR-4 than the Rem 7 1/2. CCI 41 may work, and cci 450 blew the heck out of the groups.

Yes, I'm totally out of H4895, had an 8 lb jug and helped a friend out that uses it more than me.
