Not to Derail

[rjtfroggy]

Not wanting to derail the VV powder thread I decided to start a second one.
A few actually quite a few years ago I went to only one powder on the bench for several different calibers (imr4895). Now with all the shortages, as we all know sticking with one is almost impossible, so I'm back to 3-4 different ones on the bench and they are usually unobtanium.
So my question is with VV somewhat available is there one that is good for 3 different calibers 30x47, 30BR & 6BR those are what I shoot the most and would like to get back to 1 or 2 on the bench.
thanks

Neat question. FYI, Imr 4895 has been showing up pretty regular lately.

This is going to look like a tremendous bargain when H4895 shows back up.

To answer your question, N140 would work in all 3. However, If you can work with 2 different VV powders, I would use N130 in the 30BR. N140 in the other 2.

I started using N135 in the 30x47 and to be honest the results far out weigh going back to 4895 or 8208. So I will try to stock up on the n135 and try the n130.
I'll keep the 4895 for everything else (have about 10 lbs..

I would think V-133 would cover it ?? I just lucked into 8 lbs of
it for future testing in my cats.
