N560
Some folks here prefer/have better luck with the VV over RL-26. I have the N170, N560, and 24N41 to try later.
N565 is what I use a lot of, gives great case fill, high fps, consistent

FYI, powder valley had RL26 this morning. I've seen lots of N565 and 570 the last few days.

Been seeing lots of n565 and I was wonder if it was close or if 560 was closer. I'm using 570 now in my new 7 stw, but my other one love rl 26.

I don't understand why they don't make enough to go around. I guess I never will.
Like with so many things it's an issue with supply chains which then causes hording which then stresses manf capacity which is further stressed by supply of raw materials. That's what looks to be happening with Lapua brass. They just cut half their offerings. There are only two reasons dedication to other cases (mil contracts) and or because of limited brass alloy supply. My guess is the latter. It would not surprise me one bit if there was plenty of supply of these powders and the issue was importation. These powders are in good supply in other countries. Consider what political forces controls fed agencies currently. That would include customs

In our loading n560 has run grain for grain with rl26. Mainly compared in 6.5 prc.

Where you have a larger capacity case ,with a larger caliber is where N565 andN570 may be better than N560 . I have found that N560 is as good as you can get with The 6.5-Prc and about any 6.5 cal with that case fill down too the 6.5x55 .

I also think N560 is more temp stable than R26 . I worked up some loads in 96 degree temp with no pressure spikes.
