Powder choice

I picked up a pound of VV n135, can I use this safely in my 14T 6BR and a 14T 22BR? I was looking for VV n133 but the store was out and the sales person assured me it could be used with the lighter bullets.
I did not see any mention of n135 in the new Berger reloading manual for the 60-68gr bullets for my 6BR or 40-52gr bullets for the 22BR. But I can use it on some of my other guns.

Go to google & type in Vihtavuori loading data and you can get into their loading center. They have data for the 6BR that I saw & they do use some 135.

To answer your question, N-135 can be used in both calibers. It is actually one of the preferred powders for both. I have shot it in several 6BR's with bullets from 68-90 grains with good results. I am also shooting it in a 22BR, 14 twist barrel. I am shooting 52 grain Fowler bullets and getting excellent accuracy and speed. Hope this helps.

Jarvis, thanks for you help. What set up is your 22BR and what load do you use in it?
