What's the barrel life of that, like 1500 RDS?

Looks like a cool arse round though.

NICE!!

I thought that might be a PPC case.I've never played the bench rest game, but I DO appreciate an accurate gun. I like to shoot prairie dogs w/ handguns. My favorite are two XP-100 handguns, a 22 Rem BR and a 6 Rem BR. I also use Vihtavuori N133 in my 6 BR. If you ever come across any N130 please let me know. Been looking for some for 3 years and have only found 2#.

TOTH

I'll help find you some N130

as you already know, the BR case is scary accurate like the PPC.

I've never shot p-dogs, but have always wanted to shoot them and groundhogs, marmots, and rock chucks

Man, I'd be very indebted! I bought 2# from the gunsmith who did the work on my 6 BR 2 yrs ago, but that's ALL I've been able to find. I've sent multiple emails to Vihtavuori, but they've yet to respond. My 22 BR really likes N130.

Have you checked gunbot.net? H4350 has been vapor since all the gun bs and I've actually found pretty regularly with gunbot

Yep, regularly. Availability of Vihtavuori powders has been even more spotty than other powders. I did manage to get 8# of N133 from Gunbot a few mos ago. I think production of N130 has basically been placed on hold for a couple of years w/o Vihtavuori having admitted it....
