MichalS Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I started experimenting with N160 in 6.5CM The book max for 139 Scenar is 42.1gr at 2.717" COAL. I got a bit surprised when I heard a cracking noise of compressing powder as the data don't indicate it should be compressed... What's even more interesting is that Scenar 136L data go up to 46.0gr... Anyone have experience with compressed loads of N160? TIA, Michal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Im using n160 in hornaday brass with 140 eld-m’s. Just hit pressure signs yesterday lunchtime (28c outside) with 44gn load. Not compressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichalS Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 How long are You seating them? I'm shooting semi auto, so COAL limited to 2.80"... What speeds are You getting? I'm using lower capacity brass (S&B, similar weight to Lapua). All data on VV site are for Lapua brass and short COALs, thats why I'm so intrigued by the 46gr load they published.

Catch-22 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Michal - you could try using a drop tube to help the kernels settle better!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichalS Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Thats an option, first I'll try shooting the ones I prepered, compresion starts around max book load, I may find a node just below. I'm shooting later today, it's supposed to be 32°C so fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapua Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Im seating to 2.850”, speed circa 2700 at max load, im going to run 43.5 gn at orion prl final which is 2620 fps and consistently shooting sub 0.5” so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichalS Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 It's warmer than expected... Will report the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One on top of two Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 What brass are you using ? SRP brass tends to have a larger capacity than LRP brass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichalS Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Results are in. Range temperature was 32°C. Velocity is fine, SD's are fine but the groups leave a lot to be desired. Tgere was a bit if wind, so I'll bkame it on that and retest the most promising ones... Best group (below) was 0.73 MOA with perfect vertical. Flattend primers at 42.0gr, primer cratering at 42.8gr.

MichalS Posted August 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 Tested the above load at 300m yesterday with no wind, got 0.72MOA @300m, I think its respectable for a semi auto? Temperature was 12°C lower then the last time and I only lost a couple of m/s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viht is 5hit . I use it exclusively now in the 17hh and 260. Still have a load of viht to use in the 243 & 308. Once done I'll use Reload Swiss going forward for them too.

Mick Miller Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 In the hornet I find I'm still compressing loads though, that case is so small, with this gizmo that crunch is a thing of the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
