    Amazing Keith. So much knowledge. Can’t wait to apply what I learn from you.
  • N165 states that it is temperature stable. So hopefully you will see good results in summer temperatures!!! Thank you this was very informative!!!

    Went to the range yesterday. Using identical load data I used on 150gr Berger elite hunters for their VLD hunting (Vlds being the only 7mm thing available), I was embarrassed by the difference. Best "grupe" 1.48. Previously high 3s with the elite hunter,a hybrid. So this is well timed and greatly appreciated. N165, 65.5gr, cci 250,nosler 2x fired 1x trimmed, annealed. 7mm rem mag. Previously great jump performance at .015 off lands. May try Berger jump system next. Thanks again!
  • Straight forward and informative video Keith! I just received my Bartlien 32" barrel chambered in .284 Shehane with 1 in 8.5 twist. I will be testing the N165 powder with Berger 190gr. LR hybrids. I've tuned the 180gr. Berger Hybrids with N160 in my 30" Brux barrel 1 in 8 twist, chambered the same with great results at 2850 fps. Looking forward to the next video Keith!

    Another great video Keith I do my testing the same way with a basic knowledge of my initial seating depth ( 6br norma ) starting at 100 and finishing at 300 ! My results have been great with Varget powder and 80gr. Malerba bullets (e.s. of 4 and s.d of 2 ) 1 in 8 twist !! Keep up the great videos!!
