kernel gadaffi Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Looking for reloading data for the above rifle, I have available to me-: Vihtavouri N120, N133 and N140. Sierra Hornet 45 grainSP. Sierra Varminter 60 grain HP. Hornady V-Max 35 & 40 grain. Any recipes please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onehole Posted February 5, 2013 Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Not much help other than to say you can leave the 140 out of "best choice" for all those heads.Berger manual gives 19 to 21.3 of 120 for a 40 grainer and I would probably stick with the 120 for the 35/45g heads and play close adjustment to the 40g powder weight range.As for the 60grainer then 133 is good and suggest 22g a good start point and go forward in .3,s,,,,,,Take care Onehole.

kernel gadaffi Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thank you folks, certainly something to be getting on with, just got to find a day when I can get a group put together in front of me instead if 90 degrees to my left as the wind is blowing that hard.

gunner Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Looking for reloading data for the above rifle, I have available to me-: Vihtavouri N120, N133 and N140. Sierra Hornet 45 grainSP. Sierra Varminter 60 grain HP. Hornady V-Max 35 & 40 grain. Any recipes please? i shot an remmy 700. 1:12twist --26" my best loads were with n133 55g sierra blitz king n133 = 23grains - these were neck sized brass ! if it were full length sized it was 22.6 grains !! as that would give same trajectory or fps ! col was 2283 about 15 thou of lands ! federal 205m primers funneley 50grain blitz kings also shot Vwell n133=23.8 col=2295 again close to lands ! 205m primers i tried allot of other bullets like Vmax 55g - shot horridly Amax 52g nosler b-silver tip - shot horridly Vmax 50g moly ! these did shoot well ! hornady 53g HP shot well ! diffrent gun and a host of other things means you might have totally diffrent results ! just remember to start low and work up to near max loads. the other thing worth mentioning was i found N133 quite tempreture sensitive ! i had to reduce loads in the peak of summer by about 0.3 grains . on week id be on zero at 200y then two weeks later (hotter weather) almost an inch higher at 200 y!!!
