N133 in the Grendel?

[Lee Q. Loader]

I'm looking for a new powder in the 6.5 Grendel. I have a ton of 120 ELD Match bullets that I want to get better accuracy from.
I've tried Benchmark, TAC and H335 and all are OK, but I want to keep searching for something better.

N133 looks like it's worth trying and it's available. IMR 8208 would be something I'd try but I've not seen that available for a few years now.
Anyone have experience or opinions on N133 for the Grendel with 120 grain ELDM?

Any other suggestions for this bullet?

How about aa2015

How about aa2015

Either should work fairly well I would think.

I'm heavily invested 9 pounds worth, for my 6x45 project... gooder so far.

So I quickly look at these on Powder Valley. Both are available in 8#'s. N133 is $293.99 and AA 2015 is $402.99! Wow! I would have expected those to be reversed!
It seems Alliant, Hodgdon and Accurate all went way up and VV stayed about the same as before. Strange to see.

It is, no doubt. Both of those powders shot well in 6 PPC, no reason they shouldn't work well in the Grendel.

I have also been looking at vv a lot lately. 165 looks gooder for the 6.5x55. I swiped mine at 41 a pound at the local pawn shop. It's now like 60 a pound, I'd look elsewhere. If you fall into a deal like I did then grab some...

I've always liked VV powders, but they always seemed "spendly" ...with the new shift is pricing, my power purchases seem to be mostly Vihtavouri or Shooters World

Natchez seems to often have a good supply of VV powders, but they sell out pretty fast as they are well priced. I remember seeing an 8lb jug of N165 for about $300...they often offer either $5 shipping or free Hazmat...that's what I paid for my last 8lb jugs of N135 and N140
