Hi guys my 6.5 saum build is getting ready soon.
I used the 6.5-300saum reamer with .100" freebore.
Anyone here ever used Vihtavouri N165 with this caliber using the 140 gr berger hybrids?
I know there other powders that work well but since I have this powder and its worked so well
with my 280AI and the 168 Bergers for speed and ES-SD I want to give it a go.

If you guys have used it whats your starting loads and your max charge, plus your speeds.
My barrel is a 24" benchmark 1-8 twist.

Thank you
Elmer
 
I have not tried it but should be a good one, I am using h 4831 sc, tried all the other powers. 140 hybrids 3200 with 60.o h 4831. Shoots .100 at hindered 4 inches at a grand
