Varget, H4350, or N555 might be better suited to that cartridge.
N560 powder replacing RL26 ?

As I said, I tried those and not impressed. Close, but not impressed with those specific powders.. which is why I'm looking at these powders
Sorry I didn't read forward in the thread. I have used N560 in my 6.5CM with heavies and good results.
Buy a pound first and see what you come up with.
My testing has shown the opposite. 560 was much more temp sensitive than 565.
I found a very good load with 560 in my 6.5 PRC with 147's. I use 565 instead due to the sensitivity of 560.

I use n560 in 33 nosler with a HH bullet 235 gn . Lights out and I use it in 28 nosler with 180 gn VLD hunting bullet lights out I get great speed out of both of them the 33 is going 2910 gps and 28 is 3045 fps and I use the N570 in my 28 nosler with the Berger 295 and it shoots great at 2958 fps can't say enough about the VV powder

Funny you say that. I just ordered some N560 for my 7PRC in the works. It's a 22" barrel and I'm going to run 162 HHT's . What is your setup and what kind of speeds are you seeing?
6x47 w/115gr - you might want to try RL16 and it is available in a couple places.
To clear up my earlier comment…
N560 works very well with mid weight+ bullets in said cartridges but can be more sporadic with the heaviest bullets in those cartridges.
In short… there are better powders (in consistency and temp sensitivity) for the heavy for caliber bullets.
