Best Powders For 6.8 Western?

[arlaunch]

So far I have 155gr Barnes LRX bullets and Sierra 175 TGK's.

I have H1000 and H4831 on hand. Thinking I would like to buy another 8lb jug of something that is available prior to the elections. I am thinking N560

I have a 6.5 PRC, and a 7 Rem Mag that 560 would likely shoot ok in, if it did not work well in 6.8WW.

I am torn between 560 and 565. Both are available right now.

Seems like people are liking the N565 the best, I just picked up some N565 and N568 to try.

I have been doing barrel break in with H1000.

61.0 grains with a mag primer yielded 2890, 2885, 2660 and 2810.

Not sure if that 1 piece of brass is crapping out on me or not? Seems the more firings that pass, the stickier the bolt is at unlock. This cartridge has similar to behavior to my 6.5 PRC that does the weird stick and click on the 3rd firing +

Not surprising as the cartridges are very, very similar. I almost can't tell them apart at the bench.
