[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2841790, member: 118038"] I shoot N560, N565, N568, and N570. They are good powders and I like them. I have generally been able to get tighter groups using them vs. Retumbo or RL 26 or H1000. The issues with these powders is grain/kernel size and measuring. The bridge up in powder measures, and you really need a trickler to use them well. N560 in particular is temperature sensitive above 85-90 degrees. Probably none of them is as temperature insensitive as the Retumbo or H1000. RL-26 is also temperature sensitive and vulnerable above 85-90 degrees. For very hot climates, I'd stick with Hodgdon Extremes. But otherwise, these VV are good powders. [/QUOTE]
