I haven't been able to reach the same velocities with the N568 as I can with H1000 or Retumbo it is a good stable powder just not quite as slow burning, close! This is in my 300 PRC, 7mm STW and 26 Nosler.

Well thats disappointing I just ordered 8lbs thinking it was gonna be the miracle powder.
It works fine just not as fast in the rounds I mentioned! My 300 PRC I normally run 212 ELDx at 3052 fps with H1000 with N568 my velocity was roughly 130 fps slower.
Only one, described "very warm", load for the 245 - but here are some loads from LRO:

As always, start low and work up.

I get 3000 fps from my 300 PRC with a plus P throat with the 245 gr Berger EOL with N570.
I have good luck with the N570 also just not as good luck with the N568
Have had great luck with the N570

Just had 300 PRC built 1 in 8 Proof Barrel 22'' it shoots the Factory Hornady 212 ELD X and 225 ELD M very well. The question is if I went to a 240 or 245 gr bullet would it be too slow being I have the shorter barrel ? Finding anything for a 22'' barrel has been tough

Berger calls for a 9 twist for their 245. I'd say your fine with an 8 twist and 22" barrel.

Have the 210 ABLR that i'm going to test against the 215 hybrid target. See what to go with. 300 prc, was curious to know some more details like brass selection, primer. Also, what your loads looked like on the 210 ABLR as far as grains of powder? Thank you ,

I shoot 215bergers with h1000. It's avg 2960 with a pretty stiff charge. I think n570 is the powder for 230s and 245s. Buddy was shooting 230 hybrids close to 3100 in a factory bergara with 570. Both of our barrels are 26.
