sixhills 69 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The powder you are using burns around the same as vintage N160 which is slow I don't think you will find data for a 58 gn VMax N140 works well with 39 gn through two different 243's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have some n140 russ if needed. What powder and primers do you have,I can dig my book out if I can find which box it's in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallyrus Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have bought a tub of hodgdons superformance, thinking it would be suitable for the 58gr vmax, if it's no good then I'll have to take it back to the shop and get something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert 888 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Russ I sent you data for vmax and h335. If it's for that loud thing don't put as much powder in, as I can't concentrate when it goes off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixhills 69 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Viht N140 works great with 58 vmax look for somthing with similar burn rate varget is good if you can get it I load 70gn Noslers ballistic tips with N140 so it gives you the option to go higher if you wish to use a heavier bullet as well Edited November 30, 2015 by sixhills 69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rallyrus Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have a couple of tubs of varget here which I use for my 6.5. I will take the superformance back an see what else they have. Ideally need a powder that does 58gr and something heavier for deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert 888 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I have some 6mm Sierra blitzking 70g green tips,I know the red ones are faster but the green ones blend with the surroundings and some 80g hornady fmj,if you want to try them also.
