The only VV powder that was pretty wild for me was N560, so I don’t shoot it anymore.@huntnful I notice that you use quite a bit of VV powder. Have you noticed any big temp stability problems with it. I have not loaded VV in over 15 years because I thought it had pretty large temp swings. I pretty much stick to Hodgdon Extreme powders now. The speeds some of you are getting with VV is impressive, not to mention some of your groups. Great shooting.
N555, N565 and N570 all seem to be pretty solid with temp stability. They aren’t quite H1000 stable, but they aren’t erratic by any means.
I still have a lot of H4350, H4831SC and H1000 and it’s great stuff for sure.
N565 gives like a grain of extra case fill and maybe 20-30fps over H1000. So it’s an awesome powder when you want to be in that range, and test them both and see what the bullet likes.
N570 pretty much just smokes everything and is a top performance powder to me.
N555 is close to 4831SC. So you can test those powders with a desired bullet to see if it has a preference.
