Ive had some great results recently trying out the vihtavuori powders in my nrl 6.5 creed and 284 win rifle. I would like to try some out in the smaller cartridges ive got but im not to knowledgeable about burn rates. What would the best options be from vihtavuori for SHORT barreled 22/ 6 arc?
16" 22 arc 75-80gr bullets
18" 6 arc 103-108 gr bullets

Edit: both are bolt actions so I can push the pressure a little bit compared to most available load data.
 
Look up the powder burn chart and find the closest VV powder compared to what you already use.
 
N555 and 560 is what ive used for my 6.5 and 284. I figured they both would be to slow to get good results considering the short barrels. My current best load in 6 arc uses h4895 but haven't loaded for the 22 arc yet
 
That's my bad, I initially read 6cm not arc. Again, check the powder chart. The closest VV powder to H4895 is N530. The Hodgdon load data site would be good to check too. Lots of people using lever powder in that case to get some speed. Heard about some people using Staball Match too.
