Vv N555 - which cartridges have you liked it in?

I tried it in 3 different 7mm wild cats and all based on the 284
Winchester from 190 gr bullets down to 130's, and varying
freebores in those cats. It did not shoot any better then H-4831,
and had a worse case fill. Sold it off......Ramshot Hunter ball powder
was tested along side it and did far better in both case fill and
accuracy. Hunter ended up to be my go to powder at 1000 yard
Ridgway with the 183 SMK's, until I switched to the faster 4451-End
which is no longer made......Been meaning to try N-160, but don't
shoot long too much any more.......
 
1903a3 sporter hunting rifle, undated Apex barrel. N555 57.5, 175 TMK, LC67 Match. Last month, I shot cold bore and quick follow up at 500 yards from last season's ammo. Mild wind day, 10 ring hold.


Nothing spectacular, but plenty good for taking down deer size game.
