Matt in VirginiaWhich Vhitavouri for .22-250 Remington?
Gentlemen,
I would greatly appreciate any information on the appropriate Vhita Vouri powder for a .22-250 Remington and bullet weights from 50 to 52 grains.
Thank you, Matt.

R FlowersMatt: The two Vihtavuori powders that would seem most likely to work in your 22-250 with 50 or 52 grain bullets are N 135 and N 140.
The latest Vihtavuori loading manual lists maximum loads for 50 grain bullets as being 34.4 grains for N 135 and 37.2 for N 140.
The only one I have tried in my 22-250's is N 140. It gave me good groups and reasonable velocities, but nothing I am not already getting with H 4895.
Good Luck, R F

<AKI>Asked a friend: N540 did magic in his rifle, both accuracy and speedwise. It�s the cleanest burning powder I�ve ever tried. AKI

Andre MertensN 135 works for me (5 shots in .3 MOA):
52 Sierra MK / 35.0
53 Sierra MK / 34.6
60 Nosler / 33.0.
NB.: these are MAX, start lower

ReedI saw something of interest in a magazine last night. It mentioned 540, I think, as a new powder developed for the military to provide consistent velocity over wide temperature swings. I intend to look into this powder for use in my 22/6mm.
Just a thought.
