    reloader10x or n140

    which would be better for a 223 with a 20" barrel 1/9 twist, using 52g max
    no one has n130/133 over here

    those are the two powders i have to choose from at the minute, i could order some more and wait,but that could be 3 weeks to 3 friggin years
    they will both do it but just not quite as well, i am leaning to the reloader 10

    140 you will be over 100% fill and 10x you will be a around 80% (from memory). For ease, I would go with the 10X. Shame you are where you are as I have both powders here.
    I'll run the figures through QL and see what it throws out, as soon as my son is of the laptop with QL on it.

    23.8 10X (105.6%) 3331fps
    26.9 VV140 (115%) 3300 fps

    Looks like 10x is the kiddie.
    Good luck

    10x everytime, N140 is too slow for .223.........you'd be lucky to get 26.9g in a .223 case without using a drop tube and compressing.
