Any idea what this powder is supposed to do that N565 or N570 doesn't?
Aside from saying 6.5 prc..

My guess is with N568 being slightly faster it should make it to where I can get the same velocity as N570 in cartridges like my 25SST without having an extremely compressed load that requires you to tap the case or use a long drop tube to get bullets seated. Smaller kernels is a big plus to.

Its funny they supposedly cant keep up with demand but they find time for new powders

They act like me

I would love to see EXISTING powders for sale somewhere before any NEW powders are announced!

I'm doing good for 26 !! I'm glad all my guns shoot it well

Yeah I'm still trying to figure out where N565 fits in, I've had the same or better velocity with H1000 in every cartridge I've tried it in.
For smaller cases RL26 is king, and larger ones see max velocity with 570.
It'll be interesting to see if 568 actually offers any speed advantages over the other two.
If I wanted shorter cut and better temp stability I'd be using H1000, Retumbo, or IMR 8133

I think this only a USA problem. Seems our Canadian friends don't have an issue. About To dig a tunnel

I'll try it if I ever find it. N570 bridges in my autotrickler setup although it's the perfect case fill in the 65SS. I have N565 which meters like a dream and I get slightly more velocity than H1000.

Dig TWO! I'll be there SOON!

Keep pretending politics don't directly apply and that they shouldn't be discussed and the trip down the drain will continue. People had better wake up and act instead of sticking their heads in the sand. I'm excited about the powder.

We were good until the last 3 weeks or so. It is noticeable now. We are running out too.

I wonder if there will now be a resurgence in electronic ignition rifles? Better dust off the Rem etronic.
