Thread: N560 powder for 7mm rem mag, short magnums or 280 ?

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.

You sould try it in your 260AI and give us a report

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.
The load he recommended just worked.

It spikes close to max load in my experience. It is faster than ADI in most other chamberings I have tried it in.

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.

What length barrel mate?

I have. Didn't go as well as it did in my 6.5-06.

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?
N560 for the 06 they never had superperformance when I had mine.

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.

Rem700 action, fluted bolt, #3 Truflite UM bbl fluted 24 in, maisey QC brake, Browns Precision "pounder" stock, TimneyCE trigger - bare rifle bang on 6lb.

Scope is VX6 2-12x44 firedot reticle.
Running 162 AMAXs with RL22 at 2850 fps.
Kicks like a 3 legged ninja without the brake.

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
