Niht N565 powder dirty???

[bahabill]

Soo i tried out some n565 powder in 6.5 prc with Nosler ablr and shoots really nice and found a couple good nodes to start.
Looked at my muzzle break and holy cow is there a heavy carbon build up.
My question is this...... Is this normal ??? like the performance but dang that crap looks real dirty compared to RL26
Using lapua brass
br2 primers
ABLR 143 gr
57.5 gr charge...

any recommendations other than the OBVIOUS clean after every shooting?? have the muzzle break soaking in hopps 9 for a while to soften up this sux

N565 is WAY more temp stable than RL26 when you hit about 84°F ambient temps.

And...the main benefit...N565 is available!

Really just wandering is this stuff really that dirty?? Or am I just imagining it ??
It's a hunting load but I still play with it every so often.
I gonna use N565 , do I just have to clean rifle more often then every 100-150 rounds??

Clean when your rifle tells you to. I use N565 a lot, and haven't found it much dirtier than others.

I use it in a 30N and I haven't found it to be any dirtier than any other powder, nor have I noticed carbon rings showing up any earlier.

It's a staple with short mags. Especially heavier bullets for caliber.

The tears should clean it just fine.
Powders typically burn dirtier at lower pressures and cleaner at higher pressures. Ive used VV for decades with no issues.

This is the answer that you need to pay attention to. Your load with VVN-568 is way to slow and therefore low pressure. Low pressure loads leave a ton of carbon and unburned fouling which, as you have found, is amazingly stupid to try to remove, tough stuff!
