Funny you say that SheepShape, When I first started Loading with N570 in my 6.5 prc. the Vv sight did not list it as a recommended powder for the 6.5 prc. They listed most of their other popular powders that you would assume would work better. I had to figure out my own load data. Now they list...

Good to know. What is your barrel lenght on your 7 prc? We don't get to shoot much in temps over 90 degrees here and never while hunting. So far its been relatively temp stable from low 30s to about 80 degrees.

MagnumManiac. This makes sense! Thank you for explaining this so well.

Just FYI when I cut my 6.5 prc barrel from 24" to 20", I lost 188 fps with my N570 load, but I lost less than 100 fps with my Retumbo load. This kind of made sense to me with the N570 being slower burning and needing a longer barrel, but the N570 was still faster which didn't totally make...

Thanks for that Jud. What does the term High energy mean other than it makes the bullets go faster? How can a powder burn slower and make more velocity at lower pressure? To me it seems like this is the perfect powder for the 4 rifles I have used it in. What are the disadvantages to this...

I've recently noticed something that I do not totally understand when it comes to burn rate and velocity. During the powder drought I started searching for an alternative to Retumbo for my 300 prc, 338 lapua and my 6.5 prc. I ended up trying N570 and each of my rifles performed better with N570...

Would also consider a take off 6.5 prc., large shank would be ok too.

Looking to buy a Savage/Stevens 6.5 creedmoor takeoff barrel for a budget build. Any length over 20", blued or stainless is ok. Let me know if you have somthing you would like to sell.
