Any new info on N565 replacing RL26?

Hmrhead said:
I know this has been kicked around a bit in the past, but now that more time has past with RL26 being basically unavailable, has anyone got any new info on VV N565 as a replacement? Are you finding that it "pressures out" before reaching the RL26 velocities?

Live in Tucson AZ and like RL26 and have bout 4 lbs left. Use it in the creedmore. But it does not do well over 90 at the load I have. Starts to build pressure signs once it get over 90. Started with Retumbo in the 6.5 prc and just didn't find the greatest Sd I wanted. Using 135-156 gr bullets. Tried v565 and really found it working great in the 6.5 prc and 300 prc with multiple differ bullets . Shame too I have about 11 lbs of retumbo left too. But still decent . Just found with v565 you need to keep load up higher to start load development cause if it doesn't burn hot enough it can get a bit dirty . I use GRT for info and specs to keep it at 100% burnt propellant.

Good that you have plenty of RL26. I wish I did. I'm down to my last pound and 1/2. I've read in the past that folks are liking N565 as a RL26 replacement. Thought possibly there would be more opinions/information available now.

I wanted to try some RL26 in my 280AI. But I know that isn't happening. Which one do u think would work in a 280AI with a 26 inch barrel. I have several others.

I have 4 cans of RL22. I use RL 19 in my 280 Rem. I think I have 9 cans of it. I am using my Alliant powder slowly. I use RL10 in my 204 ruger. What about RL33 is it to slow? There is one shop locally still has RL10 19 and 33.
 
I just seen 2 8 pd kegs of RL26. On gunbroker bid 1580.00. 😵‍💫😵‍💫 I will shoot H1000. And be happy with it. I had good luck with 19 in my 280 rem. And 22 in my 7 mm mag.

RL33 is too slow for .280AI. But, if you think RL26 has been hard to find, RL33 has not been on the market for 4+ years. Great powder for the BIG magnums like 28 Nosler, .300 Norma Mag, etc.
