Of course it varies from rifle to rifle, but... Which VV powder have you had best (most accurate) results with using 88-90 gr projectiles?

Thank!
 
I'd stick with N140 or N540.
Below is VV data for separate loading lengths.

I can confirm. I used both for F-Class and PRS when I shot 80s and 90s. I got a bunch for a steal when my local range changed management and decided to no longer sell components. If I remember right they were selling the VV powders as low as $5/pound by the end. I bought 30-40 pounds of it.

I typically used Varget, N140, RL17, and a few others. N140 seemed to give the most consistent results. RL17 gave the best velocity with acceptable grouping. Varget was in the middle for both.
