22BR and N140

[xswanted]

I’ve searched a bit on the forum but can’t find an exact answer........

Im loading 80 Berger VLDs in my 22BR with IMR4350. Good accuracy and good speed. However it sucks trying to get it all in the case.

I came across N140 and picked some up. It looks very close to Varget burn rate wise.

Anybody using this combo or something similar?
Mainly I’m wondering if I could use Varget data for it and work my way up.

Thank You!

Had great luck with RL 17 and 80's.

Yep I’ve tried that as well. Just trying to spread my powders out a bit. Got my R17 allocated to other applications at the moment.

I get good results with 27.5gn of N140 in a 22br behind an 80gn Sierra.

What kind of speed were you getting?

If you can find some, IMR8208 is magic in my .22BR with a 75 A-max! Very good accuracy and very temperature stable. Just a thought. Good luck.
