    VIHT N-130 powder for .38-55?

    I recently came into a 2# container of VIHT N-130 powder. I can only find one reference to loading data for it and it's in the Fifth Edition of the Hornady Handbook of Cartridge Reloading, page 476. Has anyone had experience with this powder in a .38-55? Thanks for your input.

    VV N130 is similar in burn rate to BL(C)2, 748 and RL10.
