[Idaho Lefty]

Yup,. N-565 produced, the Best accuracy and Velocities for, my grandson's 6.5 PRC, W/ 140 gr. Berg. Elite Hunters, ADG Brass, F-210 M pr's,..
got him group's into, the .3's and .4's at, 3,100+ FPS ( somewhere round 56 to 57 grains,.. IIRC ) from his Savage, Lite Hunter, 24" Fact Proof, barrel.
Sadly, StaBall HD, could NOT, get much past, the 3,000 FPS mark with, a Full case of, Powder !
We Love, "Throwing Charges" of, Ball Powder,.. IF, possible !

FWIW - In a factory Bergara, I hit pressure at about 56.5gr of N565 in Lapua brass w/ 210M behind a 156 Berger.

FWIW - I am running 59.0gr of N565 in Peterson brass w/ BR-2 behind a Hornady 130 CX at 3250 ft/sec without pressure signs out of a Ruger Precision 6.5 PRC, sub 0.5 MOA groups.

565 is a little slow and needs 100%+ fill rate compared to 560. 555 would be better than 565 in this case. part of the difference is overall length and case volume.
