199 Hammer Hunters 30 Nosler

I have tried H4831, N565, N570, and Ramshot Magnum with the 199gr HH in my 300 PRC. The only one that did not work well for me was the Ramshot Magnum which has not worked well in any of my rifles. All others easily produced sub-MOA accuracy in under 20 rounds of development. I shot some 10-shot ladders with N565 and N570 that grouped under MOA at 100 yards, but never tested at further distances. I may end up using the 199gr again on elk this winter.
 
Well I didn't get to it this spring like I thought I would. Life has been way too busy.

I loaded up some 199 HH's last night on top of 7828SSC. I'm hoping this combo will work better then the H1000 I've been chasing. I tried the H1000 route again and accuracy was not there, velocity was. I'll try to get to the range with these next week.

If anyone has any new load data for the 199 Hammer Hunters, I'd be all ears.
Just got back from the range. Here are the results with 7828SSC. Looks like a winner to me. The eight loads all were sub MOA at 100Y, about .75". I don't know where my 78.5g load went? Couldn't find the baggie!

EDIT - never lost the 78.5g load. I just realized I went from 77.0 to 78.0 intentionally but forgot to scratch 77.5 from my sheet and was out of order.

77.0 2923
78.0 2986
78.5 2972
79.0 2962
79.5 2999
80.0 3015

81.0 3046

Good speed for 20" tube. I'm thinking of loading up 5 at 78.5g as it should be a good node.

I may load up some more 215 Berger's with Retumbo as well. I loaded up 5 starting at 85.5 through 87.5 but had no reading on 85.5 and 87.5 as I didn't have the lead all the way in on my Magnetospeed. .020" off, 2.940" CBTO, same ADG 3x brass and CCI 250's as above. These three rounds were about 1.5" apart at 200Y. May be another one to try.

If you didn't hit pressure at 81gr I would load there.
