Scored N133 powder at Allen, TX Cabelas

[crs]

Their web site shows a good variety of VV powders in stock, including my favorite for standard velocity/low pressure loads for .405 WCF. 45-70 and 45-90- VV N133. So, while in the Allen Cabelas today for other things, I saw lots of VV powders and picked up a couple pounds of N133 for some planned loading.
One year ago, the only place in the US that I could find VV powders was at the Powder Valley store in Kansas - maybe VV has a deal with Cabelas for volume distribution - I hope so.

Over the past few months, I've scored 16lbs of 5744, and 8lb kegs of RedDot, CFE223, Titegroup and most recently, Clays. Have paid some more than I'd like... but stocks seem to be more available.

I have noticed that some powders are showing up around here now.

My local Cabelas has been stocked full of all powders, but for Unique and 2400. Thankfully they have a full line of VV powders and I only wish N110 was available in the 2 pound jars again.

Glad the 133 worked out for you in the 405. I really liked the VV powders. 130 is an excellent powder in the 45-70 also. It gave me near max velocities (350gr) but at very low pressures. Talking near BB load velocities at Garret pressures (which are much lower). Have you ever tried the 130 in your 45-90?

I like the VV n110 for some of my .480 Ruger loads. I haven't tried the others, but, it stands to reason that they would be of the same quality.

I got a pound of CFE 223 at my local Academy Sports and Outdoors recently, and found that my 30-06 likes it with 165 grain Hornady bullets.

One reason for stocking up on the N133 is that I plan to use it in all my loads for my .405 double rifle which is based on a Simson Suhl 12 gauge by side; no need to run high pressures in a shotgun action, even with the Greener cross bolt and side clips!
You saw the N133 pressure curves taken from my .405 M1895 and know what a difference 12K psi can make.
