N560 300HH# 1

[salmonchaser]

Ordered a pound of VV N560 to try in my 300 HH. #1 She has done ok with rl 26 and 19 but supply is dwindling. H4350 and some others left me unimpressed.
I was going to do a ladder test but decided to go for broke and loaded .5 gr under max. I pulled one shot but I think I'll order 8 pounds of 560. The targets were at 100 then plus 2moa for 300.

Great accuracy Don. Nice work at the bench and the range. What speed are you getting?

3140, faster than I expected. SD was 13.4 but I don't think I'll change anything.

 

[JD338]

That's pretty good speed. I'm assuming 180 gr bullets.

Yes, 180 accubonds.

That'll do!
Now go hunting!

Rock n roll!

Only drew an Oregon elk and deer tags this year, probably use the 300 HH and elk and the 275 rigby for deer.

Very nice!

Nothing to not love about that Don!! Well done!

At one time Vihtavuori powders were too pricey for most and now they are the affordable option. With results like yours an 8lber would be a wise call.

Nice! Only thing I'd do to that load, is load up a hundred more of them...

I have been very pleased with VV powders. I am using N150 in my 404 Jeffery and .375 H&H and VERY pleased with N560 in my 7MM RM and 280AI. I am now working loads for my 308 Norma Magnum with N560... data is hard to find, but I am confident that I will find THE load for this rifle. I have bought an large jug of N560.
