I've been using VV powders for around two decades! I
used N340 in my .45 auto. N110 is a fantastic powder
for full power .44 magnum loads with 250 and 330 gr.
bullets. N120 is perfect in .45-70, .444 Marlin and
.223 with light jacketed and cast bullets. In fact
N120 is a superb all round cast bullet powder in
rifle cases.
N140 is what i rely on most. It is outstanding in
.308 win. and in the .223 with heavy jacketed bullets.
N140 is also good for high velocity (over 2000 fps)
cast bullet loads. It is outstanding with both cast
and jacketed in my .375 H&H.
Despite what people believe the powder gases and/or
primer cannot melt the base of a bullet, it just
cannot happen. If you doubt this just try holding a
bullet in a match flame; does it melt? I had bad
leading in my M29 with bullets cast from pure wheel
weight alloy and loaded to around 1400 fps. When I
realized the alloy was probably too hard I cut the ww
with about twenty percent pure lead; all leading
disappeared. Not that lead fouling is a problem anyway,
a couple of strokes with steel wool wrapped around a
patch is all it takes to get out.

Bit of a difference between the flame from a match
and the pressure and heat generated when a round of
ammunition goes off! If the base of the bullet does
not melt then why does everyone use HPBT bullets for
the best accuracy?
