    N160 works with heavies. My QL profile with 115 dtacs has max at around 38.5 and 37 is 2845 and 99.9% burn. I don't think it would work well with 105s but I have never tried. N150 and RL15.5 are my other go to powders for the gt. I tried N555 too, and it works but it is a full compressed...

    37 grains of N160 with 115 DTAC is 2845 for me in 27" 7.5 twist

    I am getting real bummed. I have been using VV powders for years now, got tired of waiting on H4350 etc and now all you folks are looking for alternatives to the over priced H powders. Bastards going to make my secret well of powders disappear! I hate you all.

    All the VV powders are a bit dirty, some more than others. N160 is dirty but not terrible. We clean every few hundred rounds too, 150 to 300. The GT seems to be susceptible to carbon rings and we do not want to deal with that so we clean more frequently.

    @RangeDay I would try N160. It is a bit faster burning than N555. I have run it with 115 DTACs and it is very close to H4350 as far as load / speed. The other really good powder for the GT and 105s is RL15.5

    Zero press Gen2

    You knew it would eventually happen. But is it enough improvement from Gen1 to switch? https://www.area419.com/product/the-zero-gen-2-reloading-press/

    Need UPS for FX120i

    Discussed in this thread. You are likely getting noise from the other electronics plugged in the outlet. I isolated mine and grounded it and all issues went away. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/ingenuity-powder-system.7238858/page-9#post-12061039

    What level of Binos do you need for PRS 22.

    I use the Vortex Razor UHD 18x56 binos for spotting without issue

    6.5 Creedmoor

    N555 is the powder for 6.5 creed heavies. Easy on barrels and temp stable.

    Emotional roller coaster: 6 powder droppers in < 3 years!

    The only time I had those issues was with N570. My V4 runs everything else just fine. The vibratory thing you mention sounds like an issue. Mine does not do anything like that. Maybe you got a bad motor/ V4.

    6.5 Creedmoor

    Yes. 2750 to 2800 is common. If I recall correctly the 6.5 creed was designed to run a 140 at 2750, may have been 2700 to 2750, but those speeds are normal.
