NPB bullet load data?

[Karhumies]

Hey, iam looking to try their 121gr bullet in my swede but vihtavuori doesnt list data, xxl doest list the buller it seems and NPB says check vihtavuori. Anyone know of a different source? or a close bullet that could give me a safe point to start.

The Barnes TSX & Lapua TRX, both of 120 grns would seem to be suitable candidates for starting loads - but as you've looked at the Vihtavuori data you've presumably ruled them out for some reason.

no i havent, just trawling for user experience or opinions from wiser minds than I not all monolithics of The same weight behave that similar.

……. not all monolithics of The same weight behave that similar.

True but for starting loads you are probably not going to get much closer.

Also even if someone says they used the 121 grn NPB bullet in their 6.5x55 with xx grains of whatever powder you still have to treat that information very cautiously indeed.

How many do you have? I believe that they have stopped production, at least for the time being.

just one box, they are on the shelve in finland, at least in my local shop

Ok. They have a mixed reputation here. I bought a few boxes when they were selling off stock (30 cal) personally I think barnes ttsx sako blade or lapua trx are safer bets..... let us know how you get on.
