500 yard club match, N555 @ 57.0, 57.2 and 57.4. Not great but interesting, wind was up and down and I never stopped for conditions. Most holds were 1 left to 1 right. last pic is left overs from all three loads held center, go figure.

55.7gr N555 Fireforming leftovers at Ben Avery a few weeks back.

I guess everyone shoots 180gr Hybrids, but 184gr were shooting great at Nationals.
Congratulations Tod!

Gee some of you guys are hitting some serious speeds with this thing. I'm running ADI2209 (H4350). 52.7gr is giving me my best load data pushing Berger 184gr hybrids at 2840fps. ES of 11 and SD of 3.1 over 10 shots with Fiocchi large rifle primers. Accuracy is not yet on par with my 284 Shehane, but I'm still playing around with seating depth and hoping I find the sweet spot soon.

Have been too busy at work for extensive testing but After fire forming 200 pieces of brass with 55.5 N555 to break in the barrel( 32" Bartlien 9twist chambered by Alex W.) I ran a quick powder charge test at 100yds with H4350/180 Bergers right away found something. Went with 53gr. Tested with great results at 600 yds ( furthest I can go at my practice range) Have won the last two 500 yd club matches at CTSA and the only guy to clean it yesterday w/ 600-41X with this load.( only dropped one point last month trying to shoot through a switch) Seated about .012 in from touch. Need to make some time to get over to Bayou and try it at 1000. So far seems like an easy round to dial in. Super consistent..Bt the way, CTSA is a great place to spend the first Saturday of every month. Great group of guys.

I am testing now. Nothing conclusive yet. Center of powder node at 57.8 gr, 2820 fps. .5 or less MOA without playing with seating depth. So far .015 off touch. Waiting for warmer weather to continue testing.

Thank you Rook!

H4831sc gets more discussion here..

7-6.5 PRC: N555 vs H4350

I see a lot of folks using N555. Not many, if any claiming to use H4350. I’ve seen claims not to waste time trying H4350. If they are similar burn rates, wouldn’t H4350 be a viable option? Or, is N555 slower burning than claimed? Tried to find anything claiming N555 might have a slower burn...

Ive had a hunting rifle built on this cartridge, 7-6.5 PRCW, turned out great, Im really happy with it so far, a pleasure to shoot and handles like a dream.

Ive shot forty rounds of 55.5grs of N555, 215M primers with 140gr accubonds which it preferred so far, 139gr CX and 145gr LRX,

20 shots 140gr Nosler AB avg vel 2940
10 shots 139gr Hornady CX avg vel 2945
10 shots 145gr Barnes LRX avg vel 2960

Wondering if anyone has tried N560 as I see Hornady lists it in their Load Data with the 6.5 prc and the 130gr CX bullet so I at least have a starting point,

Please list what powders you've tried, don't need recipes only powders that may have worked

Thanks in advance

Same load and nothing changed? Or did you turn the tuner for second match?

It was a Palma so 8 9 and 1000, did not touch tuner, gun was shooting better then I was

“Shooting better than I was...” Sadly too true for a lot of us...

That would win a Benchrest match!
