6br load for fclass midrange with N133?

[MikeMullins]

I'm getting ready to shoot some f class this year and wanting to load up some for local matches and get ready for camp perry.
my problem is local powder source is scarce as hen's teeth around here can only get a pound of this and a pound of that, can order what i want (relaoder15,17,, n140, varget,) among others for very high prices.
How ever I have some n133,n135 and H380. I guess my question is are these powders i have like the n133, just good for the smaller bullets and for 100yd's. I shot the H380 last year at the club matches did very good with it.(no camp perry last year.) lt-32 is available also, but here again seems more for the 60-80gr bullets for the 100-200yard matches. I loaded 29.5 h380 450cci,105 berger target last year. I have plenty of the bergers and cci450's and brass. I guess I'm just mad I can't get what I want, should just join the crowd ea.


Does anyone use N133 for the heavy(105) bullets for 300-600yd shooting?

A pound of R15 or Varget goes a long way in a 6BR. I can get a little better velocity with R15 in my 6br behind the berger 105's, but seems like varget is more consistent. I'd just pay the price for a couple of pounds if you can get it.

HTSmith good point I'll need 2+ lbs to go through CP.
What would be the issue with the n133 with mid range shooting300-600yds, or is this just not done, burns too fast, nobody tries it?

IMR 4064 is out there in sufficient quantities if you want to start over with loads. Also Power pro 2000 is available. It sucks to not have what you want when you need it.
