300 prc loads

[remington jim]

Just got some Hornady 230 gr A TIPS and N570 powder - Who's loading these in there 300 PRC with this powder and what's your BEST load in YOUR rifle ? RJ

I also have H1000 & Retumbo !

 

[Simplesam]

Oh Nonono H1000 is no good, I’ll just help you out and buy it from you! lol

 

[remington jim]

Man I thought there might be a FEW more 300 PRC shooters out there - Guess not AH ! LOL RJ

Yea 6.5 PRC or 300 PRC is a LITTLE too MODERN for most of the CREW here ! lol RJ

Go to snipers hide. There is an amazing thread in the ELR forum on everything 300 PRC.

I settled on Reloder 25, GMM215M primers, reloading Hornady brass after I fire the factory rounds.

I am hoping that Hirsch Precision will receive their 300 PRC Lapua brass by the end of August, however Lapua already has delivered their 300 PRC brass to the US market in May.

I also put an order in for 200 pieces of new Hornady brass at Higginson's - I will probably cancel that since my local Canadian Tire has the 225gr match in stock at $65 per 20 after 4% CTM. New brass, bullets, powder and primer comes to ~$62 per box of 20.

Ballistic tools makes primer pocket and neck tension gauges. That's the last equipment I need to start reloading with confidence. I have Hornady dies, the various ELD seating stems, a Lee deluxe die set (ordered just for the factory crimp die), and a Lee case length gauge so I can trim the brass to spec.

Feel free to PM me...

Maybe the 300 PRC is too new to have a big following up here yet.

I’m using 225 eldm with 77.7gr of h1000 for a slow but very accurate load at 2755fps out of a 24” barrel.

 

[ruger-ruger]

I use R-26 with a 225 ELDM. It’s runs at 2984 FPS. Shoots under 1/2 moa.
Trued Remington action with a 26 “ IBI barrel

 

[NaviDave]

That is either a spicy load or a fast barrel (or both).

That's GETTING it DONE and Accurate ! I will try some ! Just got some N570 also ! Should work well also - RJ

 

[Gatehouse]

I use 225 gr ELDM and 77.9 H1000 or 76 RL26 out of my Ruger Precision. Loads are accurate and have good velocity.

 

[hawk-i]

Haven't played with it since last fall (since I got the fierce carbon edge 6.5 PRC) but looking back at my targets for the 300PRC Christensen Arms show 80-81 grs of RL-33 and 245 EOL's shooting sub 1/2 MOA and around (2850fps if I remember correctly) @ 81grs.

K k Thxs Guy's ! RJ

[remington jim]

Interesting ! Bare only got 2755 FPS with 77.7 H1000 under a 225 gr BUT. JJ got Nearly 3000 FPS with the same ( 77.5)load and only 2 more inches of barrel ! About 250 FPS more. . RJ
