Vihtavouri with 6.5 creedmoor

[nexusfire]

Has anyone tried this? I bought some loaded Berger ammo and I just assumed it was Vihtavouri. Your thoughts are appreciated.

Havnt tried it but n150 should be perfect

VVN 550 works like a charm, at least with the 123 and 130 gr bullets I have tried in my JP LRP-07. Groups in the .2s and .3s. Single diget SD and mid to high 2700s for velocity with a 22" barrel. Best powder I have tried so far for this rifle.

Best powder I have tried so far for this rifle.

Just curious... did you try any of the single-based powders (N150-N160)? How did they compare?

And looking at the burn charts I wasn't sure if 150 or 550 would be better. Thanks for the info

I tried vvn-150. Didn't do so well. Haven't tried 160 yet.

I use N550 with my 6.5 creedmoor. I'm using lapua brass and berger 135gr classic hunter bullets. The groups are .5 moa or less with low SD's at 41.4 grains. My barrel is 26" long, and I'm getting 2890 fps muzzle velocity. I can push them harder with no pressure signs, but this was a nice accuracy load with very little stress on my brass.

Follow this guys lead if you want a VV powder to work.
