    M39 and D166

    I have purchased recently an M39 VKT, untill now have been reloading using Sierra .311 hpbt 174grs. The precision is very good and I am fully satisfied , but lately I have finally found some Lapua D166 ball, they are supposed to be the perfect ball for the M39. Has someone a tested loads for the D166?
    Please only with Vithavuory or IMR, other american powder are very difficult to find over here

    A quick search around the net revealed the following 2 loads as supposedly being accurate. (Neither should be hot loads, but of course I know you will promise to check these loads against a reloading manual and work up as needed )

    D166 and 40.0 of N140, not a screamer, somewhere around 2350 fps
