go to Hodgdon web site and look for load data and you will have several calibers to choose from.
I just looked up 6.5 PRC load data with Grand powder.

Keep me up to date on your rifle. I'm a CA owner also.
Last week I shot some test loads to get a velocity range with Grand powder in 300 win mag and 180 gr Accubonds.
78.0 grs of Grand got me 2968 fps average.Did not shoot for accuracy that day,I just wanted to get a velocity range.I am looking for 2960 to 3000 fps and loaded a few more to raise the velocity.
I have more test loads to try also as I am getting great velocity with H4350 and want to isolate velocities in the 2960-3000 fps.
Accuracy test will come soon but Grand,Staball HD and H4350 did get me in the velocity window I wanted.
I like H4350 as not temp sensitive and clean burning.Grand is not temp sensitive also but requires more powder to get the same velocity as H4350.
I'll report when I get out to break in the new scope and test the loads I have already loaded but this time I will shoot for group size as well as velocity.

I just went to the Hodgon website and it is for sale today! Not sure where you got that?
I seen on another for forum. The discontinued is an era on the page. I was wondering about the Grand in 280AI and 300 wby. Local shop is getting some this week. H1000 is up to 72.00 plus tax per can locally . Grand is going to sale for 58.00 per can.
no grand info in 300wby, only hd. 280ai list both
Yes, it was previously showing as discontinued, as @Catskills noted. So, I sent them an e-mail query on July 5, 2024, below.
and their response on July 8, 2024, below.
I am glad it has been fixed.

The difference between confirming an issue with the source or going through social media.

And please understand though I might sound overly critical I'm fall for this from time to time. I recently did this when I know better lol.
I tried RS grand in my .300 Win Mag Barrett MRAD, .300 win mag 1:10 twist and it Gaven me really crappy results for accuracy with the Hornady 220 ELDM's
I'm going to load some Sierras up and see how those do. I used the exact same loading as the Higdon website, annealer and prepped brass and exact components. Anyone else use it in their 22" .300 Win Mag yet?

Well finally got to shoot post lumbar back fusion in July which was such a joy to get behind the infamous .270TH! Unfortunately, Grand pressured out way below RL26 pixie dust with both the 151HHT and the 156HH. Really disappointed hoping it would get close enough. But I also ran the 151HHT with RL26 and holy cow! Hit 3300 with no sign of pressure, brass clean, easy bolt lift etc. I will not even go further, happy as can be at 3300!
can you post some data? barrel length? what did grand produce for results? Just because it did not give the results in a long throated 270 win with a limited case capacity to bore diameter and a slippery projectile does not necessarily mean it won't be a great powder for a more over bore cartridge with a heavy projectile.
