Looking for any advice on n550 with 30-06, I have 190gr ablr as well as 175 lrx, open to try any other recommendations on bullets though.

VV550 is quite fast for bullets of the weights you suggest in the 30-06.

However, VV550 and IMR4350 are kissing cousins as far as burn rate goes.

H100V is closer, but there may not be any information in the manuals for this powder in the 30-06 with heavy bullets, because it like wasn't available at the time of testing.

I use IMR4350 start loads when working up loads with the VV550 I have on hand, with magnum primers of course.

I would say 150-165 grain bullets would be better suited to this powder.
 
My .25 moa load in my 22 inch T3X SS is:

175gr LRX 55.0 grs RL17, 2880fps OAL: 3.31

My fav hunting rifle ...

N540 is great for 150r bullets ...
N560 for 175/180s ...

If I run out of RL17, I would go to N560

Thanks! If I get velocity like that with accuracy I will be very happy. Trying both powders this weekend. Hoping for the best
