It will be some time before I get a rifle together (Mostly depends on DPMS). But I plan on trying out VV N133 with CCI #450 or Remmington #6 1/2 primers and SMK 240gr HPBTs. Obviously this is a slower powder than N110. The real issue for me is burn consistency and any relationship between burn rate and energy density.

The most obvious risks are:

* too much chamber pressure for desired MV (~1050 fps)
* bullet not making it to muzzle

There was a really good picture on the Internet for that second case where a .30 cal bullet was hanging out of the muzzle of a barrel. But my Google voodoo was lacking in locating that photo.

And of course even if I make a workable load that is also consistent and groups well doesn't mean that it will be a safe load to shoot for anyone.

I'll post if I get such a load working. But I won't post what the load is if a single person objects.
