Vihtavuori loads

Post by shootingcharley »

I would like to try Vihtavuori N133 or N140 in my .204 Ruger but i am not finding it easy to find any loads for the SBK 39g bullet's i use, are any of you using this combination? if so can you let me have your load data please.

I use N133 in my 223's, haven't tried it in the 204 just yet, but if you zip over to Saubier, there's a few guys over there using it. I also found load data for it there.

Hornady 7th lists N140 for the 32gr. VM between 25.9 and 29.2 grains, for the 40gr. VM between 25.0 and 27.3 grains, and for the 45gr. SP between 22.1 and 24.7 grains.

Sierra didn’t have this in my Edition V 5th Printing but I found and printed it from their site. They have N140 charges for the 32gr. BK between 26.0 and 27.6 grains and for the 39gr. BK between 24.9 and 27.5 grains. They also have N150 data for the 39gr. BK between 25.5 and 27.7 grains.

Neither of these shows .204 Ruger data using N133 but me thinks I’ve seen it while wasting my time on the net. If the N140 works well for you, holler back. I have a bottle but still haven’t given it a try.
