Might have to try it in 6x45 with 80'sN140 in 223 with 77gr+
It is a great powder for 223 with 50 to 55 grain bullets.Any one except 133. Thats the worst powder that they make.
. I expect to wake up one week and the price will near double.Not saying cuz you'll buy it all up sorry!!
I’ve seen some price creep. But I have also found myself seeking VV powders over everything else. I’m using VV powders on hand now that I picked up in 2010 or so.. I expect to wake up one week and the price will near double.
N165 6.5-284 I know little about other VV powders but many claim N165 has one of the lowest burn temps of any powder. But to give Hodgdon its due H1000 and Hybrid 100V are also low temp.
N133: 6.5mm Grendel with 120/123s
N135: not much, but good for <155gn in 308 Win (it was developed originally for standard 7.62X51mm 147gn ball)
N140: 223 long throat F-Class with 77s and heavier. 308 Win with 155-175s
N150: 308 with anything heavier than 155gn. Great FTR powder with 185-200s in small primer brass. 6BR 105-108s.
N555: 300 RSAUM with 185/200s
N160: 6SLR, 6.5X55, 7mm-08 heavy bullet
N165: 6SLR, 6.5X55, 284 Win
I started to comment on something along the same lines... My experience with VV powder has been restricted to smaller cartridges because historical VV was priced like Powdered Unicorn Horn. With larger cartridges I just couldn't rationalize the premium price compared to so many other great powders available. Now, VV feels like I'm shopping at Walmart... nuts!. I expect to wake up one week and the price will near double.
I am a bit baffled yet pleasantly pleased by their pricing policy of "Insensitivity".
What are your thoughts on N555 and the SAUM vs 4350 and R16? I bought a pound to try with 180 and 205 Elite Hunters. Just haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Thanks!N133: 6.5mm Grendel with 120/123s
