hi moose
cal sibley shoots a lot of vv 550 & 560. hoprfully he'll see your post. looking in the barnes manual they suggest rl-19, 43.5--47.5 and h4350, 42.0--46.0 grains. nothing on v/v powders.
from the v/v manual they suggest n-550, 37.1--40.7 and 560, 44.1--47.5 grains. now those loads are with a sierra bullet. i suggest you start low with the barnes bullet and work your way up. barnes bullets do cause pressure spikes if you are not careful. also if you fiddle with oal, barnes bullets tend to shoot better farther away from the lands.
i shoot the barnes 120 grainer in my swede with 48 grains of rl-19, 2790fps and .75 groups. i used it to harvest my antelope year before last. one shot kill.
good luck
