N568
NEW POWDER!
N568 is the ideal choice for today’s most

popular large capacity magnum cartridges,
such as the 6.5 PRC, .300 PRC, .300 Winchester
Magnum, and .338 Lapua Magnum.
N568’s slow burning characteristics and

short-cut grains provide extremely consistent
metering for long range competitive shooters,
accuracy enthusiasts, and hunters alike. N568
excels with heavy-for-caliber projectiles and
provides exceptional temperature stability and
is insensitive to humidity changes. An excellent
choice for classic belted magnum cartridges
such as 7mm Remington Magnum, .300 RUM,
.338 Winchester Magnum and more.
