Getting bored thru the winter ...... any one running N560 ? results ? velocity & accuracy compared to 2217 or 2225 ?
I run it in a mates .280 AI.
Goes pretty good.

did you see a speed gain over ADI powders ?
I got the data of @sneeze and worked up a load. Never tried any ADI powders.Quote:

N560 big gains on ADI in 280 and 6.5x55 without the same pressures...like 150-200fps
Have heard it's quite hard on throat erosion
Very accurate
I am using it in a 280, with molycoated 162 Amaxes. During load testing saw 3040, but best accuracy is 2890 fps.
You sould try it in your 260AI and give us a report :thumbsup:Quote:

Superperformance, RL-17 and 2209 all went better in my rifle.
I used to be fascinated with speed, but found that an extra few clicks on either turret with an accurate rifle is a lot more facinating😆

interested to hear more about Superformance in 6.5 06. Tell me more ? I've tried using 2209, 2213sc,RL 19 and 2217 in 6.5 06AI. Got best results with 2217 0.5 moa or better but speed 2750 - 2800 fps with 140 AMAX or 140 gn partitions. Would like to get 2900+ ? Hard to find published load data with Superformance but burn rate seems to be close to 2217 ?
What length barrel on your 06? Seems slow?Quote:

I still load for a mates one. He has a standard 6.5-06 in 24" doing 3100 comfortably with N560 and 130 gr scirocco.

26 in barrel. yeah, agree seems toooo slow.

interested in the 280 reply also.
I have light weight (6lb) 280AI built on REM700 action w 24in bbl. Load dev with RL22 also got velocity close to 3000 fps with 162AMAXs but accuracy sweet spot (0.3 moa) was 2850 fps. More than happy with that for anything out to 800 yards.
6lb? Photos and info pleaseQuote:

Scope is VX6 2-12x44 firedot reticle.
Running 162 AMAXs with RL22 at 2850 fps.
Kicks like a 3 legged ninja without the brake. :pacman:
Nice rifle
How do you find the QC muzzle brake?
QC brake is pretty good, I think the Terminator 2 brake is slightly better in reducing recoil but the QC gives me the option to turn brake on/off with a simple twist & POI remains same. I'm running 150 gn Swift Scirocco for up close and personal & out to 300 yrds. For 300+ = AMAX
Running N560 in my 260Imp. Pressure came up quick, but ES is around 10-12fps in every 5 shoot group.
How did you go grouping wise? Did you get a reasonable velocity increase over the N160?Quote:
