H1000 Replacement for 300WM? Vihtvavuori N565 or N570?

[NHPiper]

Rifle is a 28” barrel that was pushing 225gr ELDs around 3000fps with 76.1gr of H1000. Supply of H1000 seems to have dried up so looking for alternatives.

Seems to be mixed review on Retumbo and RL26. Anyone using Vihtavuoti N565 or N570 with good velocities, stability and limited pressure signs for heavier bullets over 220grs?

565 is going to be pretty close.

I had good results with 230 Berger over Norma MRP in a 26" 1:10 .300 WM.

I am shooting VV N570 with the 215 Berger right at 3100 FPS in my 26” Proof barrel.

Hard to find the N570. Ever used the N565?

 

[tlsmith22]

No sir I have not. I did talk to the VV people this past weekend and they said we should have a huge shipment of N570 Here before the end of the year.

@mm509 huge shipment... HUGE

 

[tlsmith22]

LOL...That was my thinking as well.

 

[NHPiper]

I actually pick mine up at a local shop. They seem to be able to get 1 lbers fairly often.

N560, 565, 570 were all readily available online ~1 month ago. I know Natchez had 1 and 8#-ers. I refreshed my 570 with another 8#'s and got 2 8# of 560.
