Gonna Shoot a Wabbit Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Ey up pigeonwatchers, Does anyone know anywhere that has some N160 in stock? have tried ringing round the local gunshops in warrington (mcavoys etc) and not been able to source some. Am down to my last 35 rounds for my beloved .243 and getting nervous. If anyone local has some powder to spare am happy to pay the going rate. It is all i have ever used and dont want to change unless i have too, what do the rest of you use for reloading .243? many thanks Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveK Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Last time I asked, Tim Hannams had some but they're around 10 miles further east from you than Fister. As for alternatives it depends on the bullet weight. I use N160 for 95gn SST's but 75gn vmax gets N140 and it's well accurate. Others I know use varget and lately some Ramshot variants are getting good press and they're cheaper.

activeviii Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 HP's in newent, Gloucestershire will have it. Last batch was £65 per kg. But I changed powder to n165 and that was a good move for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
