I believe N565 was the direct result of what VV liked about N560 and N570 and tried to combine those attributes into a more stable powder for military applications. I have seen less speed and more consistency with it then N570,

Yeah I love n565 it's very consistent and stable. Just not as much speed as n570 but I've grown to accept it. N568 should be worth 50 to 75 feet more

 

[Dogtown]

Agreed. And N568 feels like an ever so slightly faster N570 minus the giant kernels.

In my v4 autotrickler the n565 and n568 throw awesome no issues one bit. The n568 I feel like looses 50 to 75 feet compared to n570 give or take.

Has anyone shot enough n568 to know if it likes to deepthroat your shank like n570?

 

[Dogtown]

Yeah, the product number really seems to match up. It's not quite N570 and N565 is definitely faster.

I have a 300 PRC coming and have N565, N568, N570 and H1000 on hand to try with 245 Bergers. My guess is N565 or H1000 will be what I end up.

^insomuch is that is like a 300 RUM, it will like RETUMBO

 

[nick338]

It's a shorter barrel so it may need a faster powder than Retumbo. And If I can get 2700-2750 out of it, I'll be happy. If what I have on hand doesn't give me what I want, that will be the next option.

N570 is the optimum powder for performance in the 300 NM but know the price to be paid. I would recommend cleaning at shorter intervals than you may be used to, it definitely seems to help with consistency.
