It's supposed to give a little more zip in most cartridges using mid-weight for caliber bullets. Thanks RM "An archer sees how far he can be from a target and still hit it, a bowhunter sees how close he can get before he shoots." It is certainly easy to use that same line of thinking with firearms. -- Unknown

Thanks RM You didn't look very hard as there have been several threads here as well as in the AR topic forum about VV 540. It's my favorite powder for 69 & 77 gr bullets in 223's & 5.56 rounds in both bolt guns & AR's. And it fairly available & though the VV powders have never been cheap, they are less than many of the Alliant & Hodgdon powders right now. MM
