N135 & N140

[Dave M.]

Can you tell me if either of these powders will work or are being used successfully with the 6 Dasher cartridge with Berger 105-109g bullets??

I am just testing them now.
I can say, it looks like both work and likely work well.
From my experience, N-135 and H4895 are close in burn rate, and N-140 and RL-15 are close in burn rate.
I hope others chime in and share their experiences.

For what it is worth, I won the HG contest yesterday in Western Colorado shooting N-135 in my dasher.

Use n140 as a replacement and very close to Varget. Great powder in dasher!

Great to know guys. Huge help. I was trying to figure out if I should try to trade it for RL-15. I should try the N140 because I have an 8lb jug, and another 6lbs of N135

N140 works in my Dasher.

A little off subject, but I’ve used N-140 in 308 Win with factory molly coated Sierra 168 MK with excellent accuracy with the same load in four bolt rifles and three AR-10s. All shot sub 3/4-1/2 MOA.

What load of 140 in a dasher with 103-105gr bulllets are you guys using. I have not tested above 33.2 yet, below that, there are a couple flat spots that work.

Probably off subject a little to, but I use N140 in my varmint 6.5 creedmoor with decent groups, very similar to Varget.
