I forget who it was, but someone had experimented with N565 and a shorter barrel with reasonable results. That's on my list. Haven't heard or seen anything on 165 or 170 yet though.Has anyone ever messed with any n165 or n170 in the 30 nosler?

I'm starting to see more that N170 is right at same burn rate of H1000. That seems promising. I can see it producing slightly lower speeds though (compared to 565), not being part of their "high energy" "5"-series powder.I use n565 and n568. But I always see the others in stock I know we would lose some speed but maybe a back up powder never know
Wonder how the temperature stability would be.I'm starting to see more that N170 is right at same burn rate of H1000. That seems promising. I can see it producing slightly lower speeds though (compared to 565), not being part of their "high energy" "5"-series powder.
Maybe it's right on par with H1000 across the board…I could live with that.
LGS has plenty of N170 available. Going to grab a few pounds and start some testing with moderate temp stability. I'm in AZ…I can only do so much with cold, but we'll see what happens.Wonder how the temperature stability would be.
Going to grab some 165 as well. I'm thinking that the 170 might be too slow for the shorter barrel. 165 should be good for that case capacity and the heavy pills. Guess we will find out. Also, shouldn't be near as hard on the throat, as 570 is known for.Let us know how it goes
Does anyone have a neck bushing die for the 30 nosler that they don't need any more?
