Did they accidentally mix a tank of n565 and n570 ? Lol.

Seriously though I hope they dont discontinue n560 or n570. I really don't know if these two are far enough apart to have n568

Short cut n570 is what they got

Short cut n570 is what they got

I'd be ok with SC N570

Maybe.???

I sure could use a Reloder 30 equivalent, lol.

Early reports are coming in about the new N568 and it sounds like accuracy is great but it's producing slower velocities than N565 and N570.

Sounds like it's fairly bulky and hard to get enough of it in the case to produce good FPS numbers.

Doesn't sound like it is anything like a SC version of N570 which I think we all were hoping for.

Has anybody seen any load data for the 6.5prc?

Over on another forum I know someone that loaded N568 w/156 Bergers. He has a 3.1 Baney box in his gun so he can stretch them out pretty good and he said about the most he could stuff in a 6.5PRC was 60.5gr and it was 160fps slower w/156's than his load for that same bullet but using N565.

There's a few guys playing with N568 over on longrangeonly.com

Maybe in the much bigger cases like 338 Lap Imp this stuff will show promise but so far it's not looking very impressive with regard to velocity but from what I'm reading accuracy has been pretty good.
