As per earlier posts, is anyone willing to sell a small amount of N560? I need enough to perform a ladder test, so roughly 550 grains or 35 grams.. I'm near Newmarket, so anyone in East Anglia region please. Happy to pay a fair price.

Hi Rotwild, I'm using this combination of projectile and powder too and wondered what weight of powder you were using? I tested some loads yesterday morning and found there to be little variation in grouping with rounds loaded with weights between 46.0 and 47.5 grains. Somewhat ironically of...

Hi everyone, I'm Ned and I’m another newbie to the site. Like many of you I joined to ask the odd question, share experiences and generally enjoy conversations connected to shooting – across several disciplines, including shotguns, rim fires and centre fires. Although I’ve held a shotgun...
