I have some Vihtavuori powder in N540, N550, N560, and N570 and would like to use one of them in my .300 Win Mag. Currently I have some 180g Nosler Ballistic Tips I want to work up some loads for a Ruger MK77 however I can not find any load data on for the 180g BT bullet using any of the Vihtavuori 500 series powder. Could anyone help me out with some load data and/or recommendations?

Thanks

Thanks for the info, I have reviewed this in the Vihtavouri manuals but I do not see a 180BT Nosler bullet in the link, Do I use the info from one of the other brand bullets for loading the Nosler BT? The only thing I see close is a 190g Sierra BTHP.

I do see a Nosler Partition 180g but there is no 500 series powder listed, only the 100 series.

Thanks
 
Consequently, kickerz24, welcome aboard. Always glad for the company. Yes, use the data for either the Partition in the same weight. Drop back at least 5% and work up to a safe maximum. I really can't be more helpful at the moment as I am rebuilding my computer and some functions are not ... well, functional! :? However, use the pressure tested data provided in the link for the Partition, watching for signs of excessive pressure as you work toward a maximum.
