What weight bullets? I am surprised there is no mention of Varget. That would be my first choice.

I have them both. I also have some Ultras that are 66gr.

I didn't know that - good to know...

 

[Lefty Trigger]

Yes, both are 68 grain. Sorry forgot to mention that and should not have assumed. Bart's bullets are new to me and thought I would give them a try.

It's the stuff of legends around the campfire, tales from old guys,..".I remember, before the great pandemic of health and safety rules, when you could send not-very-dangerous goods in the post.....tuppence a pound it was and shot any bullet through the same hole..."

cant beleive it aint been mentioned,32 grains of 8208 will be real close.

IMR 4166 worked well with 95g+ bullets.
Never tried in the lighter ones, just N135 in 68g

 

[Lefty Trigger]

I'll be glad when it will be easy to get powder again. So many choices but nothing to be found. Twice now I have found some powders I want and before I can check out,... it's out of stock!

You will like the Varget way better. I tried all the others and Varget shoots far better in both my 6br's 1-8 & 1-12 twist. 32-35gr in the 1-12 Although 33.2-33.4 is the sweet spot. 29-30gr for the 1-8 twist 29.6 is the sweet spot, 1-12 is in the low 2's and the 1-8 is in the low 1's. That's as good as I am. If I was better they would probably be less in size. The only thing I use the N135 for is the 80gr bullets in the 1-12 gun.
