Does anyone have the VV book? Does it contain load data for the 220's?
Thanks!

VV data is online, but nothing for 220gr bullets.

Thanks.

We are hoping for 2400-2450fps with a 28in barrel. We have some loads with IMR4350 they may get us there, but wanted to try one of the VV powders. Maybe the N140 is a better match than the N150.

We are getting 2550fps with Varget loads and 200gr pills.
