VV140 or RL15. Neither of those is new, but most VV powders seem to be readily available

I was doin my level best to not bring it up, but N140 is a great powder. Lol

Yeah I’m liking VV powders more and more as I test their offerings in other cartridges, big and small

You failed! lol. Jokin, wouldn’t want to ruin my chances of your talent being applied to a future stock. N140 is an excellent substitute, depending on bullet size so is N135, as stated more and more recently I’ve been going to VV large, medium and small ….

@ShootDots What cartridge and bullet weight please?

It was a 6mmBR with 105 Berger BTs..

Is the VV150 better than the VV140 in the 6br in your estimation with a 105 weight bullet?

 

[ShootDots]

There is REALLY only one way to find out! Try both. However, BOTH will work great>>> BUT N150 has been a real performer in the 6mmBR with heavy bullets. I would try it first!
