VV N135

[PopCharlie]

I have a good bit of N135. Im going to see if Ican develop a quarter MOA load for my .223 bolt gun using 73 or 75 gr Berger VLDs. VV has load data. I'm curious why I've never seen anybody say they use this powder in a .223 load. I used it years ago with Sierra MK (75 gr I think. Cant find it in my notes, so maybe I didnt). Any reason why this is not a good fit?

Nothing wrong in doing so, it might be a tad fast and fit better for the 50-60 gr range of bullets.
As if your chasing velocity N140 or 540 would be a better fit with the heavier bullets.
But it will work just fine as long as you are'nt chasing velocity to the limits.
it's a excellent powder for 308 with 125-140 gr bullets too fx

N135 and a Sierra 80 was a load of choice 20 years ago. I shot lots of it.

I SHOT A PILE OF IT WITH 52GR BERGERS IN A 223 WITH GREAT RESULTS I DO USE IT IN A 22DASHER WITH 75GR VLD BERGERS IT SHINES IN IT

My .223 is a Hart barreled 8 twist, Predator V action. Im not really chasing velocity, just low ES and SD. Looking for consistency.
