Mark Jones Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Hi all, could do with some help please. I am shooting Nosler BT 80 Grain bullets from a Tikka T3 19" barrel. I have had to change powder due to supply problems and now have a choice of N140 or N160 Vhit. I brought a 1kg tub from the shop with a new box of heads (N140) but now a lot of people have said I should have got the N160, phoned the shop and they tell me the 140 is correct. can anyone help before I open the powder in case its not the best choice Many thanks Mark (forgot to say .243) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 N140 is more correct than N160, in the same way Bullet is more correct than head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
