    I dont like 4350 as it doesn't fill a case very well and burns hot and fast so changing might be a blessing. I dont know what the burn temp for N555 is but someone will have a link to powder burn temps.

    That's very load dependent might be true in a 270 but in a 7mm08 that's hardly the case. The 7x57 is probably somewhat between the 2.
    @NewbieZAR what powders can you get now.
