Hello Folks
I have a quantity of VV N105 that I have been using very successfully with full power loads (Hornady 200 and 240gr XTPs). However, those things are expensive to shoot. I have about 1500 hardcast 240gr LSWCs that I would like to load up using this powder, since I have moved over to W296 for the jacketed bullets.
I am not having much luck finding loads for the VV105 with lead bullets. The VV loading data doesn't show any loads for 240gr LSWC with N105, but they do show these:
240gr Hornady Jacketed Truncated Cone N105 13.9gr 1286FPS 16.4gr 1424FPS
Think I would be OK starting at 13.9gr with the 240gr hardcast (Alpha-Bravo and Xtreme brands)? I would like to be around 1200 FPS or so. They are not gas checked, so I want to limit the velocity some.
Or is this whole thing just a bad idea? Thanks!
