Alycidon Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Its similar to H380 http://www.reloadbench.com/burn.html So should run in 22.250 Ok, Vit manual also shows N140 loads for the 6BR so it sounds a good deal. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Have tried Varget, H4895, H380 in my 22-250 and the best results were with Vit 140 with 52g Barts. Cheers Ste ve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamfarmer Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 hi nell, dont use n140 myself as varget suits all my needs but just a word of warning nell , my mate eric on this site has been trying to work up a load for his 243 and it isnt happening yet and he hasnt got much more hair left to pull out but he has discovered that you need to use the vit load data that coresponds to the mananufacture date of the powder as some of the loads in one vit manual have the start load more than the max load thats listed in another manual as one load he thought was good turned out to be dangerous as it was nearly 2 grains under the start load for his powder batch and he might of risked having flash over. graham.

menial 1 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 Viht 140 is suitable for 22-250, .308 and heavier bulllets in 6BR. Not found 140 to be that useful for a wide range of bullets in .243, 160 works much better for me. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Ste ve Hi Stevie, whats your load for the 52grainers??? i have some 52gr A MAX im going to give a spin. Thanks for other replies guy's iv'e been very happy using VARGET in .22/250 with 50gr sp but wouldnt shoot 55gr VMAX. Also very happy with VARGET in the 6br with 75gr VMAX and 80gr BERGERS,but always keen to give something else a try, so any N140 loads would be greatly recieved. Was thinking of 155gr AMAX in the 308 also???? NELL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with load developement. Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NELL Hi Nell Apologies for the delay, yesterday was a manic With the N140 I tested from 35.5 gr to 38.8 gr working up in 0.3gr increments with Barts 52 grainers. Sweet spot was around 37.0 gr to 37.6 gr, so I opted for 37.6 gr obviously giving the highest velocity at 3891 fps. This showed no signs of excessive pressure in my rifle, but please use caution/care with yours Let us know how you get on Cheers Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
