N560

Is this powder that good............well more well rounded anyway? It seems to be good for many cartridges, but gets noted a lot for 6.5prc loads. What cartridges do any that have used this powder and bullet combos for?

Its slightly faster than H1000 and a tad slower than RL 25. Its a good powder. I shoot it in my 300 WM and my 338 LM.

Do be careful with your loads if you go to extreme temps in the 90s and above. A really hot load developed in 70 degrees will scare you over 95 degrees.

I like it in, 300Wm, 7PRC, 240W.bee, 264.WM anything similar will work very well. IMO
Should work very well in 6.5Prc

I've shot it in my 6.5-06 with 140 SGK's and in my 6.5 Sherman with 124 HH's. It did well on both accounts.

Anyone use it in a 7mm WSM? I have some on my shelf because I heard it was a good powder for the short mags. Haven't gotten around to loading it in any of them. Just developed a load for the 7mm WSM with H1000 but I'm really short on that powder.

N560 is very close to H1000.
Just a whisker tad faster.

I ordered 2 8#'ers from midsouth, so I might be good? I already had 5 1#ers to start with, but wish I had more 565. I also have 550 and 555 to try in other cartridges. Not sure how 160, 165 and 170 will do? I think it might be better suited for RUM's and Nosler cartridges?

I use it with 6.5 prc and 7mm saum. Works great in both. It has a lot of characteristics of RL26.

Only thing I hate about it is metering. You need a trickler.

An old Lee measurer with crank handle will clog up every time.
It bridges off in the down spout.

I call it the chunky monkey.
