7mm SAUM, 34in barrel

I've only used N165 in my saums for years..
Probably 5 or 6..
My first saum barrel I used H1000 in.
The last time I used H1000 was in my 7mm 270.
A couple of times I collected so many tubs and mixed them altogether to make one lot..
7 or 8 tubs I think..
It shot superb on it.
I scrapped the barrel about a year ago on 1800 firings.
 
I am getting excellent results in a 24" hunting rifle with N560. I am usually a H-1000 guy in that cartridge but I have become more and of a VV fan. N560 worked better for me than N565 accuracy wise and its giving me excellent velocity in a 24" barrel. I am pushing 180s at 2943fps and half moa or better accuracy with no signs of pressure.
 
Thanks to everyone for feedback. I currently use H4831sc for 180 hybrids. From your comments I will test H4831sc, along with VV165/565 as well as H1000 for the 184 hybrids. I like that H1000 is a slower burning powder which may be an advantage with the longer 34” barrel. Testing will tell the story. Again, thanks.
