Just started the changeover last year, so below is mostly a work still in progress.
N140 & N150 in 22-250 with 52/53s. N140 seems to shoot a wee bit smaller & N150 is about 75-80fps faster with smallest groups. Both are past 3900fps in 26" bbl. It's pretty much a toss up.
N160 in 30-06 with 155s. Stumbled into this one & never looked any further.
N130, 133, & 135 in 358 Winchester 200 & 225s show promise so far. Nothing finalized.
N133 & 135 in 338 Federal with 185 & 200/210s show promise like above.
N160 & 560 in 257 Ackley with 100s with the velocity nod going to N560. N550/100s was also promising on one outing.
300 H&H... N160 & 550 with 155s, with 180s N565 shoots smaller than RL26 but lags about 150fps at noticeable bolt lift.
