N160 & N560

[John MH]

Hi

 

I have lots of N160 and N560 that I use for my 6XC, am soon to take delivery of a .260 Rem and wonder if these powders are any good as from most of the posts I've seen people seem to favour N150 and N550.

 

Thanks

I use 47g of N560 under a 140 Amax and it shoots wonderfully on both deer and 1k plus targets , it is a hot load so as usual work up in your rifle!

I've been reading up on the 6.5's and the 142gr SMK appears to be just tipping the scale wIth a superior G7 over the lap scenars even down at 2850fps

 

Great value if sourced from europe.

cheaky little site, £26.50/100. I can cope with that being a tightfisted get!

John MH... another late reply from a new member!

 

I would be interested in any feedback that you got to your question about Viht powders for 260 Rem..... or your own experiences to date.

 

I am currently pushing 139g Scenars with 44.5g of N560 from a 1:8 Krieger barrel at 26 inches long. ... no pressures and great accuracy...... pretty confident I could go with a greater load (Quickload still showing WELL within safe area) but planning a Chrono session this weekend first to see what MV and spread I am getting currently.

 

Dave Wylde of Valkyrie is building me another 260 as we speak and I am going to try 123g Scenars with N550 by way of comparison as several of my shooting buddies have recommended these... we will see what it likes to eat best!

 

Cheers
