N560 powder replacing RL26 ?

[PatriotHenry]

Yeah I'm between n560 and 565 to make the switch.. not looking at magnums, just 6mm

Varget, H4350, or N555 might be better suited to that cartridge.

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.

I agree… maybe try it out to see if the results are satisfying to you.
There is load data on the Vit site for cartridges of similar capacity

Talked to guys at Capstone on this and N560 is more temp stable than N565. I bought some N560 to try in 6 Remington Ackley and 7-06 Ackley but haven't tested yet. N160 works well in 6 Ackley

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.

Ramshot Hunter should be a good choice for heavies as well given your case capacity. It's just a bit slower than 4350 and being ball
Powder you should be able to get good case fill without being compressed.

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

That's 195 Berger

Even though I have plenty of R26, Ive found that N560 works amazing in 7prc with 170HHTs, same speed, more stable and readily available.

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?

My only issue with N565 is carbon ring develops faster. Take care.

6x47 w/115gr - you might want to try RL16 and it is available in a couple places.

I have had nothing but outstanding experiences with using N560 instead of R26 in 6.5CM and 300WM. Also impressed with N570 instead of R33 in 300PRC, 300NM, 338NM with heavier bullets.

I use n560 in 270 Weatherby 140 Nosler. In a 280ai I use rl19 with a160 Nosler. Down to my last pound or less in the rl 19.
