V V in 22BR

[rogn]

Has anyone used any of the slower V V powdres in the 22 with heavier bullets such as the 75-90 grain? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks

I have been using VVN550 for use in my 6.5" twist .22BR with the 90gr. Sierra MK. I will be testing a couple of other powders that Quick Load says should work well. They are IMR-4895, and Ramshot Hunter. I am having my bolt bushed since some of the loads are showing pressure signs at the lower load levels that I have been working with. I will have more data available when I get the bolt back, and the weather improves. I will also be doing some testing with the 80gr Nosler Comp., 80 gr Sierra MK, 80gr Hornady A-Max, 90gr. Berger VLD, 90gr JLK VLD, and the Wildcat Bullets 100gr ULD bullets to see which one the barrel will shoot best.

Cordially,
