Need info, n165 and 338 norma mag

[cognac jack]

Does anyone have any load data for N165 and the 338 norma mag, 250 grain bergers

I don’t. Would help if you listed bullet listed. I used RL23 and H1000.

VVN-165 is an often overlooked powder for developing some of the larger capacity cartridges. It's cool burning but that is often reflected in slighted reduced velocities. But if you're looking for accuracy at somewhat lower nodes, this could be a great solution. It can also be just a tad too fast when the capacity gets to be much more.

I tested the 250 gr. Hybrid OTM with N-165 and it worked out well. Not a perfectly full case and not the very pinnacle of velocity but the accuracy was certainly more than acceptable, running right around 1/2 MOA with little development. Mid to upper 2800 pushing 2,900 at the top of the curve.

This powder could be used for your daily driver loads and moderate mid-weight bullets providing good to better barrel life and lots of enjoyment!
