Bout to start loading 6.8 western with either 170 nosler ballistic tip or 175 tgk .running a browning with 26 inch barrel. Looking for accurate loads preferably with high velocity. Has anyone tried n568 or n570 . Also I have h1000 rl25 ramshot magnum and grand. What would be ideal
 
Use H1000. It's the best. If you can't find it, use Ramshot Magnum. Work up to 62.5 grains with the 170 and 63.0 grains with the 175. Go slow, watch for pressure (flattened primers, sticky bolt), and you'll find a sweet spot somewhere in that range.
 
I load grand to the max load on hodgdon site (don't rememeber it exactly but can get it there) in ADG brass. 2750 put of 20" barrel and tiny groups with 175 tgk. Probably be 2900 fps or bit more with 26"

I run 170 Elite Hunters with either N570 or Retumbo. N565 or N560 will both probably be better than N570, but N570 gives me big velocity. I'm told by reliable sources that N560 amd N565 both give similar velocities to N570, but N568 does NOT due to reduced bulk density.
