viht n135
Re: viht n135
Good God dyslexia strikes again. Was it 26.8 or 28.6 that once showed extreme promise with the 35's?????? Fairly certain it was 28.6.
Either way save yourself some money, barrel life and heartbreak. N-135 although a perfect burn rate and excellent fouling characteristics will not work long term in a 204R.
Viht powders do not lend themselves well to cartridges with long jumps to the lands. They like pressure from the get go.
You may try, you may find promise, in the long run you'd be better served looking elsewhere.

Re: viht n135
Hiya jo191145,Now that sounds like sound advice,ime sure i read some thing along those lines whilst searching for information,,
Iwas given a load of 27.5gn for the 39SBK with N135,tried it,and from a load of H322,the zero dropped by 6" over a 100 yd,s,was well suprised,
Look,s like i will be sticking to the H322,might give BL-C2 a run,and the 35g Berger,s can lie in the reloading box for a while,plenty fun to be had with the 32 v max and 39 sbk,got to get my pic,s up today,
Well of out with the dog for a wee while,thank,s for the info,
