anyone loading for 7prc 18" barrel, 175-185gn rifle is being built, will be shooting supressed. gonna grab a few powders. im thinkin short cut and maybe retumbo. n560? any one seeing good results, if so what powders?
 
I had good results with N560 in a 20”
Barrel. It was what I settled on after trying a few different powders. Would have to check notes to see exactly what other powders I tried, but I’m thinking 4831sc and N165, and maybe one other. But yeah, I liked n560

N570 has worked well with those weight ranges. Haught Rifle Development had that exact setup using 175 bergers and I believe he was around 2900
 
I just fired a couple 168’s through my 16” barrel 280AI with 62gr of Retumbo with decent velocity. About 300fps slower than my 25” barrel, 2670fps from the 16”.

I used H4350 and lighter bullets for the 16” barrel rifle assuming Retumbo would burn too slow, averaged about 33fps/inch so it’s possible that the Retumbo didn’t fully burn, seems like a lot of loss but it’s also two separate rifles.
 
Currently doing load development with my 22" and 175gr bullets (ABLR, Partitions, & ELD-X). So far I've tried-
H4831: Decent velocity, horrendous SD
H1000: Mediocre Velocity & SD
MagPro: Fastest so far, but biggest SD
N565: Good velocity with consistent single-digit SD

Eventually I'll get my hands on Ramshot Magnum and maybe N560. At the moment I don't think I'll get much more than low 2800s.

Don’t sleep on n570. I have a thread on here with my experience with a few years ago. Search 7mm prc and N570 in the search bar.

With 180 Berger hybrids in my 18” I gained over 200 fps over my h1000 load. I forget the exact numbers but I landed somewhere around 2860 with single digit SD’s as I recall.
