VV 165 favorite loads/ bullet weights

[signut]

What are some of the better loads and load data for this N165? Looking to try in a 6.5 CM or REM 260.

I have not used VV165 in my 260, but have excellent results in 6.5-284. Healthy dose of VV165 (under book max) 140 Berger or JLK 140, CCI BR LRP, Lapua brass. Is vv165 too slow for the creed and 260 rem? maybe do some checking????

Probably appropriate for 150+ gr bullets in 6.5 Needmore.
I use n165 with 112gr bullets in a 6mm CM.

What I was trying to say is maybe VV160 may give better results, depending on bullet weight and barrel length. Look at the data and see.

Ebb is right, N165 is too slow for that size of a case/bore diameter, N160/N555 would be the best option if you are using Vihtavouri powders. If you go onto the Vit website they have loading suggestions for the different powders and cartridges.
