    N560 big gains on ADI in 280 and 6.5x55 without the same pressures...like 150-200fps
    Have heard it's quite hard on throat erosion
    Very accurate

    I am using it in a 280, with molycoated 162 Amaxes. During load testing saw 3040, but best accuracy is 2890 fps.

    interested in the 280 reply also.
    I have light weight (6lb) 280AI built on REM700 action w 24in bbl. Load dev with RL22 also got velocity close to 3000 fps with 162AMAXs but accuracy sweet spot (0.3 moa) was 2850 fps. More than happy with that for anything out to 800 yards.
