20series Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I was using H4831SC for my 284, which as we know is now not available. My load was 55gns launching 180gn Hybrids at 2840fps Looking at the burn rate charts Vit560 seems to be an equivalent, has anyone swapped over and can lend some advice please??

MrCetrizine Posted December 27, 2018 Report Share Posted December 27, 2018 I have a friend who switched to RS62 for his 284 and he seems pretty happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 RS62 is a much better powder than N560 and it’s single based. It has very similar characteristics to H4350 my .284 loves it with 180 Hybrids, start around 51 grains and work up. Mine likes 53.4 which gives a velocity of around 2900fps Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20series Posted December 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thanks both, I'll source some RS62 and try it. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tralle Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Try out the new n565 Works good in my 7saum My own unscientific test showed it to be pretty temperature stable. Regards from Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried RS70 in your 284...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yes and it works very well but I like to steer clear of double based powders if I can. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted December 28, 2018 Report Share Posted December 28, 2018 Ok thanks 🎅. I've very recently used up the last of my H4350 I used in my 6.5x47 and changed over to RS62 and had great results and shot a PB with it at 600yds on century first time out.

6mmBR Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Yes it’s good in the 6.5x47 isn’t it. I use 41.5gn with a 140 Hybrid and shoots just as well as my old H4350 load. Nice when a load works well and pb’s are very satisfying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 I tried 5 or 6 shots with 41.5grs RS62 behind the 139gr scenar on previous shoot to see how they would perform and i felt like they were a little harsh and I knew accuracy wasn't so good so I dropped the load to 41grs as the scenars seat so deep and gave them a whirl in a COF. They shot superb and this was the only load development done. 41.5grs works well with 140gr amaxs as they seat similar to the Bergers but not quite as good as the scenars yet. Just a seating depth change should sort that. See you at the top gun comp 🎅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
