Wow, I'd love to get near that velocity! Planning to start RL26 at 76 grains. Thanks!

Wish I could find some RL23. Did you test it against RL26 or H1000? Thanks!

No, I did not. The Absolute Hammers typically require a faster powder than typical weight/type bullets so I went with the RL23. H1000 and RL26 would be what I'd use with the 215 Berger or similarly larger gn bullet, though. I believe that combination would provide the best results in that recipe.

I apologize, the "renewed" question wasn't really answered with my earlier response. i was just answering initial 300 PRC load dat question.

No worries. That still helps if I need to go with a lighter bullet. Thanks so much.

Anyone have any good data for the 205 Bergers in the 300PRC

I had great success with R26 and the 210 Berger's
