markm Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I’m pretty sure it isn’t being imported anymore for some safety reason. There are a few other specific powders available for reloading. Not sure about V 133, have you tried google? If you can find a RFD that has it, maybe they would post it up to your local RFD?

Dave-G Posted August 28, 2020 Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 Given you'd be doing some load development with a new powder I'd be inclined to ask on here if anyone has any surplus 133 before starting with it. Some had similar difficulties with Varget availability but found what they needed on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted August 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2020 I have two tubes of it that I use for my 223 reloading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its well worth the drive for a couple of tubs (and how long that will last him? ) compared to the time and effort that will be wasted starting all over from scratch Caernarfon to R-C-T is not that far. One A road virtually all the way. I've driven further for things Edited August 28, 2020 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chriskent Posted August 29, 2020 Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 N120 is the viht powder for .17 hornet, I think 133 would be to pokey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow white Posted August 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2020 If Steve lets me now name of gun shop that as it I can get it delivered up here I have not said that it’s to far or expensive to get delivered I have only asked if nv133 would be ok to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooter Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 You can use n133 but the performance will not be very good, ime it is far to slow for the 17 hornet. N120 is far better and I also use it for 50grn bullets in the .223. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
