V V N-110 & N-150

[rikkit]

Was given a little over a pound of each, and was wondering if anybody has worked up any cast loads for either or both powders.

The 110 is a great 44 mag and 357 max powder

Never tryed the 150

N110 is my go to powder for cast boolit loads from 6.5 up to 8MM. I mainly shoot military rifles and most of them are .303. 18gns is "the load" if I may use Ed Harris's term. N110 is slightly slower than 2400.

N150 I use for full stoke cast loads around 2,200 fps in the 303", alloy hardness, lube and boolit fit are the keys here along with a slowish powder like N150, its around AA 4350 burning rate.

I'm using 41gns N150 with a custom fit 190 gn gc boolit. Car Red and LBT soft bllue lubes.

These loads work in my rifles,you'll need to work up your own for safety.

I use the VV N-110 in my Savage 10ML muzzle loader !

I want to try some VV N-120 with cast bullets in the 444 Marlin but my deaker cannot seem to get 120 for some reason !

But the 110 is the only VV powder I've ever purchased , had or used so far [smilie=1:

I use VV a lot. They do make fine, consistent powders.

N-120 is a dandy in the 45-70 and I suspect it will be in the 444 as well.

While I am currently out and need to reorder it

N-120 also works quite well in my 357 Max and in the 357 Max strech round I load

Hello.
We often use VV powders in france. Here are the loads I use :
- 357 Mag : 13,5grs N 110 & 150 - 158grs boolit.
- 44 Mag : 20,5grs N 110 & 245grs boolit.
- 7.08 Rem : 37,8grs N 150 & Sierra Match King 1930 (168grs bullet)

OH OOOOH
I forgot to mention that de 7.08 Rem load was for a molycoated bullet. If the bullet is left "natural" keep the charge at 36,3 grains.
I also forgot to mention a good load for 45-70gvt : 29,5grs of VV N110 with a milk pack slice to keep the powder against the primer pocket, and a LYMAN Gould Boolit.
This load will print a MOA @ 110 yards in my marlin 1895 and a little bit less in my BROWNING 1885. I've hunted with it and no complains formuled by games :drinks:

Here in Italy is hard to find IMR powders and VV make the big part.
14,0 grs of N110 is my load for 6,5 Carcano and Lyman 266465; 21.0 grs for 7,62 Mosin and 311299; 20,5 grs for 44 mag and GB 240 grs. 7,0 grs of N110 and 200grs Lyman bullet make a very mild but exceptionally accurate 38 spl.
Also, I've found very accurate 37,0 grs of N160 ( a bit slower than N150) and 311284 (both in 30/06 and 308 win) Garand, cycling action. Still in Garand, I use 34,6 grs of N135 and Lee C312155 (not sure of the bullet number; it's that 155 grs designed by Ed Harris).
