N568 Vihtavuori Powder

I'm curious how it does in the 6.5 prc

I agree. Hopefully hear some feedback soon!

I seen on another thread a guy tried it in prc and he said with 156 Berger he pressured out around the 2700 FPS

Look up N570 in a 6.5prc thread and go to last page

Dang, that's disappointing. Hopefully hear some other results soon.

According to Vihtavuori's load data 568 will fall in between 565 and 570 speed wise. Should be another good powder option for Magnums.
This is for the 300 PRC 26"

There data isn't making sense, more powder for less speed but its faster!

 

[L.Sherm]

If its correct looks like it will fall in burnrate with H1000 and RL26

Tried 568 with 156s in 24" 6.5 prc. Here's my data. Shots 2-6 were under 1.5" at 200y. My freebore is long, coal is 3.072 @ 40k jump. Pretty good crunch on last charge. Had very slight click, but no bolt lift. This brass has been run very hard and is prone to clickers on occasion. Powders quite dirty, necks on charges 1-3 were heavily sooted, upper charges were better. On a side note, I run 60.2gr N570 in my 26" prc @ 3085fps. No pressure.

So basically 100 FPS slower for same charge weight? When you factor in barrel length?

Dang. I would've hoped for more. The velocities are at or about what you'll get with H1000 with that cartridge combo.

Did you find any pressure with 568? I found similarly lower than expected velocity from the 6.5prc/156eol combo.
