6.8 Western / 270 WSM and N570

[Wizzum]

Looking for some feedback / results on anyone using VV N570 with the 165 NABLR or 170 Berger EOL in the 6.8 Western or 270 WSM.

Thanks

Not exactly what you’re after but it could be helpful. I have an XBolt 6.8 in 24”. I’m running ADG brass, CCI200’s, and 170 EOL’s with 67.9 grains of N565. This produces 2990fps. No pressure issues at all. I do have to use a vibratory tumbler to settle the powder in the case. I’ll seat the bullet half way then flip the cartridge over and vibrate some more to seat the bullet without crunching powder. Quickload says this is 108% load density and I believe it. Long story short, I don’t know if you could fit enough N570 in to reach pressure if I’m at this load density with N565

How is your accuracy? I did not have N565 available to me at the time and already acquired some N570. A bit slow. Only pushing 2850 out of a WSM with 165 ABLR with about a grain less powder than you :/

I’m getting right at 3000fps with the 170 eol and 68gr of N570. It’s the most accurate load for that particular rifle. It’s pretty compressed. I have 2 6.8 westerns and neither like to shoot the 165ablr.

What is your barrel length?

2850 seems really slow. Might just have a slow barrel?
