I am getting into reloading now that I have a new .300 RUM 700 XCR. I am working up loads for 180 gr Nosler BT. I plan on using it for moose and elk. I picked a bad time to start this whole business because there is NO powder to be had, ***. I have found some N560, but the data is scarce. Vihtavori is quite proud of it, but some powder is better than no powder (I hope).
If it is good stuff, I will continue to work-up some loads. I have tried loads from 74-84 grains and they are 2+ moa. I suspect they are lowish on pressure. I will go through the hassle of a chrono when I find something reasonably accurate. Who cares how fast it is if I can't hit anything with it? My gun shoots MOA with factory stuff and I am trying to do better.
Any opinions or comments regarding N560 would be helpful.
