Powder N565

[MissNoone]

hello fellow shooters and hunters

I have a powder question for you I have some N565 and some speer BTSP
I have not been able to find data for this specific bullet, and I'm looking for some help with a starting load I was thinking of a 70.0grn start load would be OK but I figured I'd ask. It will be launched out of A 300 win mag

Thank you, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any data on the Speer projectiles. I've searched extensively and found information on various other projectile manufacturers, but the situation with Speer is different. I also reached out to their customer service, and they informed me that all information on their website or in their app is it. And they do not give advice that is not listed.

I would call speer and ask them. Speer bullets are a cost effective and less expensive than nosler. See if they recommend a change in grain etc.

i have just waiting, but i also wanted to ask around while I wait for my emails to be answered. I figured while I was waiting I can always get more insight from others. Uh, you never know who's got data lying around.

Somebody has to have something they tried and info on it. Sorry I couldn't be more assistance. Good luck.

Use the starting load of a different cup & core bullet of the same weight. Then work up watching for pressure.
