Hello,

having been a guest to this forum for quite some time, I now venture to put forward one question:

European friends told me that many reloaders over there are using VV N140 for their Swedes with excellent results. However, I'm a bit hesitant because VV doesn't list this powder anymore for the 6.5x55 140grainers I shoot (SRA MK, HDY A-MAX, HDY SP). I am wondering, therefore, if anyone out there is reloading the European way and what your experiences are.

BTW: N165 is working fine w/ the Lapua Mega 155 grs and even with the A-MAXes.

Am presently using N160 for 2927fps with the 142SMK in a 6.5x55. Don't try that with a '96 Mauser action.
