You should send all the 215 burgers to me
26" and 29something for velocity. I don't remember exactly.....Right at 3000 though.

Hi Folks, my name is Geoff Esterline, I work at Berger. Our apologies for the hot, hot PRC data! This was corrected a few months back, now that our Technical Support team recommendations are based on Lapua cartridge cases, which have a lower internal volume than other brands.
When our Technical Support team first started cooking up 300 PRC load data with Vihtavuori powders, QuickLoad default for case volume was derived from Hornady cases (only cases available at the time). With new, thicker Lapua 300 PRC cases, the internal volume is much lower and will incur higher pressures.
Again, our apologies for the hot loads. Don't hesitate to reach out to our support team if there's a need for more Berger, Lapua, or Vihtavuori data 660-460-2802. Or, Vihtavuori has begun further developing their 300 PRC and other loads listed on their website here: https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/rifle-reloading/
Good shooting!

I'm still confused I guess. Pic one is from vihtavuori using Lapua brass.
Pic 2 is from Berger with their "updated" data using Lapua brass.
N570 for example. Sure seem far off from one another.
Soooo Vihtavuori's MAX load is 1gr UNDER Bergers starting load????

After reading your post again, I see what looks like you guy's are using "Quickload Data"
Is this correct? You aren't using pressure test barrels and actual data?
