Re: Absolute "I'm new at reloading" 6.5X54 question.

Thank you for the information! While I agree that other powders work well, the reality here in the US today is that powders are NOT at all easy to find. Sold out/back ordered/otherwise unavailable. The VV powders are the only ones I've found in stock, anywhere! The Hogdon or ADI powders show up on the load data pages I've googled, but again, finding them in stock is difficult, at best.

Primers are absolutely unobtainable.

I've seen Privi Partizan brass, but not much in the way of loaded ammo. Midway had some, then they were out of stock, they may have it back. New England Custom Gun has told me they will be importing RWS, but no luck so far. I was able to find some old RWS and Interarms solid point on Gunbroker, and a good deal of RWS brass. There is a place in South Dakota that was able to make me some ammo, but they are typically out of stock until they get several inquiries. Also, they set the Hornady bullet at the cannelure, which gave me a far too short OAL, and would only load into the chamber by hand. It was too short for the bolt to push it up the ramp. I did not have this problem with the RWS.

I did hear back from Lapua today. They do recommend the VV N160.

While I understand the concern that they may not continue to sell, I bought some that I found, and it should last a while. I don't get to shoot as often as I'd like! At some point, I may switch to some other powder, when/if that powder becomes available!

I'd like to say "I'll let you know how it works out", but again, I need to find some primers before I can move forward!
