Gentlemen, it's been a while since I've been on here, but my current build is nearing completion. It's a Ruger No1V chambered in 8x68S, I plan to shoot 198grn Hammer Bullets but am having a hard time finding load info and powder. I wanted to try Vihtavouri powder, it's all backordered in the USA, I looked for Norma, it's all backordered. I've had RS powder recommended, but it's not imported into the USA. Does anyone have any suggestions on other powders that I can try to find that will work for this cartridge/bullet combination that I can try to find? If you load for it and have a favorite powder, let me know what it is and I'll see if I can find it. Thanks for any assistance with this
 
Hopefully someone’s got some good information on it.

I'm hoping someone uses a powder that I can get, all the good info that I found lists powders that aren't available. And the one manual that I have, Hornady, says the 195grn bullet is a good one but doesn't list any info for it, they list 170 and 220 but skip right over the 195

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
