6,5-284 N165 and RS62/RS70

[gyr]

I am looking to use N165 or one of the RS powders for 140 bullets ( Hornady´s ELD).

 

So far I ´ve used other powders ( T8000 and MRP). I have noticed some overpressure lately with the same loads as before, and assume this could be due to the so called carbon ring. Barrel has over 1500 rds on it already. Planning to give it a good clean and maybe turn to N165 or one of the reload swiss powders.

 

I believe the 165 should punish the barrel less, at least than the RS70. If the RS62 does not have the infused nytrog., it should also burn " cooler"? Does anyone have experience with it?

 

Thanks
