If you are going to reload and understand it, you need to come to terms with data differences and work around it. When in doubt, the lowest charge listed from the powder maker is the best starting point. ~Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kipper Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'd try n133 first, I used n140 but got better results out n133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I'd echo that. N133 was better in my rifle too with this weight. Around 23.5gr seems to work well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakeman Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Or even N130 works for me. ...22.7g under a 55g Blitzking .....(raise the pill to 69g for N140 and 24.5g) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I use n140 at 25.5gr with a 55gr v max. I get 3000fps and exceptional accuracy out a 1 in 8 barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VarmLR Posted December 15, 2019 Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I've tried the 60gr Vmax and despite achieving some consistently low ES figures using N133 and N140 I cannot achieve consistent accuracy with that bullet. My barrel, whatever I seem to do, only manages about 1/2 moa with it on average. I have better luck with the 69TMK which works out closer to 1/3 moa on average. I may try the 55 VMax instead and see how that goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
