N568 or N656 for 6.5 PRC

[Backcast88]

Picked up a Seekins PH2 last week in 6.5 PRC. I've bought Lapua brass and am looking loading 143 ELD-X or 145 TGK this season. I would like to go with H1000 or RL26 but with both being impossible to find I have found a local source that can get N565 and N568 for the time being.

Anybody have any load dad with the 143 ELD-X or even the 147 ELD-M and 565 and/or 568?

Seems 565 is the more popular route but I can get 568 a little easier so if it performs well I can certainly stock up.

N565 works great in two 6.5prc’s for us. H1000 has been available pretty often lately and tons of online stores offering free hazmat.

FWIW, I’m using 565 as well, and what I’ve heard from testing is 568 is slow in comparison.

I was disappointed with N568, too slow burning with disappointing velocities. H1000 has been great, N565 works well.

Sounds like 568 is slow. I've been seeing it that posed other places so that makes 565 the clear choice.

N565 in lapua brass is working very well for me. 20in barrel pushing 147s righ at 2900fps. The old berger data had a max of around 62 gr, if you get anywhere near 60grs the case capacity gets FULL. I have developed clickers after a couple reloads so aw2 on the way to fix it.
