6 Dasher or 6BRX ?

[Bill Norris]

Anyone have load data with VV-N150 for any bullet weight ?

IME, you can flip a coin between the two and data is very interchangeable...but I've never used n150

Yea, I think it may be hard to find much data for either one. I just have some and wanted to see how it would perform in the 6BRX

I have one guy that I can think of that has tried it in 6BR with the TSX bullet, and I think I recall he started with data from VV. In my experience, a Dasher or BRX would have roughly the same or have some margin against an identical recipe from 6BR.
I can ask him how his gun compared to the VV data.
He came to me for help when the TSX didn't group well and I advised him to try a larger jump. That worked for him, but I didn't catch the details on how the N150 tracked versus the VV load data.

Bill, he said he tracked very well with their load recipe in a 6BR and once he seated deep he got the TSX to group. Here is the VV 6BR recipe.

Bill,
I have some VV powders but have never really tested it in anything but a Ppc but I know there’s not much load data difference between the Dasher and BRX , My Dashers liked about 2980fps but all my BRX’s were over 3000 up to 3050 I don’t know why but that was my findings

Thanks Bro. I found some other data here in a search that is along those same lines. I think I will try some Hornady 103 ELD-M and work up to your numbers slowly.

What did you learn using N150 with heavies in a dasher?

Sorry Bro, I do have them loaded and want to get my 6BRX back on the bench but it has been so hot I have not actually tried them yet. I will keep you posted once I get it done. Bill

If you look at the 6br load map on here it show 30.5 gr of vv150 with a 105. If I was trying VV150 in my BRX, I would start with 32.0 and work up.

Just checking in, did you dust off this project and give it a go?

I actually pulled those because I decided to re-barrel the 6BRX and go with a 6PPC.

Personally I wouldn’t recommend N150 for either a dasher or a 6 BRX. Try RL-15, RL-15.5, or even H4895. Personally, I shoot our dashers between 33.1-33.4gr of RL-15.
