TikkaT3 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 i am just getting into making my own ammo,problem is which powder to choose i have CZ American i think its a 1.12twist.my mate does a lot of target shooting and he only uses vihtavuori n140,will this powder suit a lighter bullet,or is there better powder out there,your veiws will be appreciated. i will be useing 50 55grain v-max bullets. I find that with mid-weight bullets (55gr V-MAX) 25.3gr H335 works well in Lapua brass with CCI 400 primers. I had been getting sub-0.5" groups at 100m. Recently I have been using heavier 75gr A-MAX, which will be too heavy to stabilize in your rifle my twist is 1-8"). Here Varget works better! I have heard good things about Vit140. Also about H322 and BL-C(2), but not yet tried them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I would say the better powder for the lighter bullet would be N133. Have search on here plenty of people use it an recommend it. Or have a gizzard at this site: http://www.reloadersnest.com/frontpage.asp?CaliberID=18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
