7 PRC reloading with H4831SC

[Chapultepec]

Finished load test today with the 4831sc. I remembered that I requested load data from Berger so I verified it and found the max to be 61.9g in the 195 EOL. I load tested from 60.2 all the way up to 61.8 with no signs of op. I stopped there due to the data I looked at prior. My max load @ 61.8g produced an average velocity of 2645 fps. I'm shooting at about 2300 feet in elevation and a 22" CA mesa. It is what it is. Not sure I will go this route for hunting elk this fall or fall back to the 175g eldx that I've had good luck with.

Im shooting 4831SC in a 26" proof prefit at 3030fps with 66g, 180 eldm, adg brass. I haven't shot anything else in it, gave me .7" 10 shot group with sub 20 ES so rolled with it. It started closer to 2990, but as barrel broke in sped up and continued to shoot really well. Its giving me clickers about 20% of the time so just opened it up with an AW reamer, we'll see how that goes. Otherwise, no pressure signs although im sure im close.
