Probably going to be hard to find loads listed for this bullet as it's a bit heavier than is usually shot in the PPC and the 133 is used pretty much for lighter bullets. You might consider a slower burn powder,VV-135). Be very careful with this heavier bullet in the smaller capacity cases as three tenths of powder one way or the other can have tremendously different results!! Keep asking and good luck. Mack

I have not shot any 85 grain but I have tried 90 grain. Like Mack says, V V 133 may be too fast. I,and others) have used H4895 and V V 135 with the heavier bullets, all the way up to the 105s. For 90s, 28 grains of either powder will get you close to 3000 fps in a long barrel. That's with LAPUA cases. SAKO brass may be less capacity so start low and work back up. For bullets over 75 grains you'll probably need a 12 twist, or even a ten will work.

The Sierra Manual has lots of data on heavy bullets in the PPC.
