VV165 is one of those inherently accurate loads in the 280AI. Works with most any 130-150 grain bullet.

They used to be more expensive than other powders but most of the newer ones have caught up with it price wise.


As I pointed out in the article, the N100 series is pretty close in price to a lot of so-called "American" powders these days--relatively few of which are made in the USA. The N500 powders are a little pricier, usually around $5 a pound more.
