Thread: 6.5 x 55 alternative powder to Vihtavuori N560

Hi team,

The present load for my Tikka 6.5 x 55 is: Sellier & Bellot brass, Federal large primers, 49gr Vihtavuori N560, 143gr Eld-x. I am very happy with the performance (2770 fps) - very accurate and reliable. BUT... I am now starting to run low on N560 Does anyone out there have a recipe using a more mainstream/accessible powder.

I have looked up some online charts, but hoping to hear from someone who is reloading 6.5 x 55's with a different powder and who is happy with it.

Cheers,
Grant
