Anyone use 80 gr Rem HP w/ n-133 in 6mm BR?

[scooter]

I was wondering if anyone out there has ever used an 80 grain Remington HP bullet in a 6mm benchrest Norma with VihtaVuori N-133 powder? Any feed back would be appreciated.

I read about using 135. Figured 133 would be too fast.

I had a lot of 133 left after giving my 6ppc to my son--never did find anything else it worked in--at least not my barrels--especially the 6BR-- he since took the rest of mine off my hands--out of the bin? -- decided I knew how to load a cartridge after all, I guess. ..............nothing beats 135 in my rifles so far for short range light bullets slow twist

Scooter,
For whatever this may be worth, one of the loads I use (and have for 2 years @100 yds) in my Savage 6mmbr Model 12 Benchrest (Norma) is 68 gr Bart's buillets (both FB & BT's) being pushed by 31 grs of VVN133. If .2's & .3's make you happy, might consider giving it a try. It's been consistent so long as I do my part. And I don't shoot longer distance because of dimishing eyesight issues, but am confident that the 105's and 107's (Sierra Matchkings) being pushed by Varget do the trick at 600yds+.

scooter,

I shoot N135 with 68gr to 87gr bullets. N133 is a little fast, but if you have it, give it a try.
