N 133
 
What small calibers do you guys use N 133 for ? I have 8 lbs of it for 6mm ppc but don't use that much of it. Looking for another way to use it up.

I use it in 17 Fireball, 20 Practical and .223/5.56

Have found nothing better in the first two.

.204 with 32 grain bullets, to add to the list.

223 with 40 gr bullets, one of the most accurate 223 loads that I have and very good velocity also.

I used to have a awesome load using N133 in my 6 BR with 55 gr Nosler BTs. Then I managed to lose my load notes somewhere in a series of moves and can’t find my recipe. I was using Rem 7-1/2 primers in Lapua brass. It made tiny little holes in paper and was the bane of Rockchucks and Prairie dogs out to 600 yards. I switched to AA2230 because N133 was hard to come by at that time; at least in my area. 2230 never did shoot as well. I need to have someone run a quickload calc for me on this as I too picked up 8# of it recently in hopes of recreating that original load. I have a target with a charge weight of 35 gr listed but was too stupid to write what the powder was! I hate it when I do that to myself.

Ben: Any chance you have a loaded round, still available to empty and see what charge amount you used ?

Good thought, I shot em all at prairie dogs some time ago. I have a buddy though who was using the same or similar load in his. I’ll have to check with him.
