Loads for VihtaVuori N130

[deerassassin23]

About 2 weeks ago I won 2lbs of N130 at a pistol match as a door prize and don't have any idea what to load with it. I really can't find a use for it in the guns i have. I got a 270WSM, 44Mag, 243, 223, 7.62x39, 45ACP couldnt find a use anyone have any ideas?

Have you checked the on line data?

It is a relatively fast rifle powder, by the way. It will not do for .44 Mag or .45 ACP, should do well in the .223, I believe in the 7.62 X 39, and I would have to check the guide for the others. It definitely will not do in the .270 WSM. It is a good powder. Some of the Benchrest guys prefer it to N133, but not many.

N-130 has a burn rate similar to H 322. Most burn charts have it listed up there faster than AA 1680 which has not been the case in my experience. Vihtavouri has it listed close to H322 and BLC-2.
I use a lot of N-130 in my 7.62x39. Accuracy and velocity are excellent with 125-150gr bullets. Sierra and Hornady have data for the 7.62x39 and 223 with N-130. Give it a try, it's great stuff.

N-130 is best only for .223 Rem.
