N133 in .223

[greyghost02]

I have a Savage 12 F/TR in .223 with 1/7 twist. Does anyone use the N 133 power and 80 gr. Bergers? I looked all over and have yet to find any info. What would be a good range for loads?

I've used N-133 for 75gr. Hornady Amax & BTHP before even 77gr Sierra's, but the Lapua Manual doesn't show a load for N-133 and 80gr anything. It lists N-135, N-140, N-530 & N-540 as the go to for anything much over 70gr. in .223 Rem., online Manual can be found here;

I don't see the N133 listed there either with the 80 Berger. Is this load too Hot or too slow. At one time I thought I read something about the load but I can't find anything.

N133 is way to fast for heavy 223 loads. Stick with N140 or N150

Depends on the bullet weight. N133 is perfect for 52-55 grainers.

The OP was wanting to use 80 gr pills
