[QUOTE="RiverRat, post: 58638, member: 637"] Ihave uesed N540 and N550 in a variety of calibers and had excellent results with them. Since they only come in 2lb. bottles I have went through enough differnt lots to be convinced that they are very consistent lot to lot. I burnt the throat out of my first 300 WSM barrel (F class competition rifle) with N550 behind the 175 MK and never had to change the charge weight. The new barrel on the 300 WSM likes the powder as well as the first one. Same thing with N540 in my 223 (69 gr. MK and 75 gr. AMax) and my 308 (155 MK). I also use N540 behind the 108 gr. Laupa Scenar in my wifes 260 Rem. for a low recoil 600 and 1000 yard load. Though it isn't a 500 series of powder N133 has been an excellent performer across several different lots of powder, and in numerous 223's that I have been associated with behind 50 and 55 gr. bullets. From my experience with the VithaVouri powders over the last four years, I think you would be hard pressed to find a powder from any manufacuturer that is any more consistent lot to lot. I just wish they came in 8 lb. jugs instead of 2 lb. The only powder that I have found that comes close the lot to lot consistency is H4350 EXT. It has been excellent as well. For your 30-06 I would go to N550 like another post as said. RiverRat [/QUOTE]
