Thread: Vihtavuori N160 in 270win

Will better that to. Try it because they don't have data with it for 140s don't mean it's a no go only takes quick ladder amd your away like you say 52gr start up in half grains to 56 amd look for normal signs job done?

Graham Henry wrote an article about this powder in the late eighties & recommended using IMR4831 data, that's what I did with a 280 & had no problems.

When i use to run around the hills with little guns i tryed G.Henrys 270win Vit n160 loads and split cases and had funny taste in my mouth, 130gn chronyd at 3200fps out of 22" tube.
When i learnt how to load and not trust anyone elses loads i used N160 with great results.
56grs for 130gr rem @3050fps or 54grs for 150gr sierra bt @2915fps

58 grn with 130grn works ok in my 270. Norma brass. Warm load.

I would keep the n160. It will work.

Ok guys I will take the advice and keep the powder and give the stuff a chance and if it does work out that shop has one more container of it for the price I got it at.

@hunter308

First off get a better reloading manual like my new one

140gr N160 50gr-2588fps---55.5gr-2929fps

Its also in bold in the book which means "potentially most accurate load.

You're welcome

Your new book is my old book

I got told to get this book before I started reloading Haha. 3 years later reloading without any type of a manual and here she is.

Its a good book,pretty old now tho.

Hopfully you can read this hunter.

@veitnamcam can't read it properly mate, is that the lyman manual that you posted the picture of? I may have to take a look on ebay as I have seen a caliber specific load data book that contains data from all available manuals on there a while back.

Is there a good one out there that has ADI powders in it? The ADI manual doesn't have a great pill range.
