7 prc/150gr badlands BDII’s

[Phil Rizzo]

Anyone had any luck with these?
Powder used?
I'm running a 26" 8 twist.
Not much experience with mono's.

Thanks!

I ran some 150 CX, 150 TTSX, and 153 HHTs through my 7 PRC. All with great accuracy. Don't know why the Badlands would be any different. I'll look up load data in a bit.

I might try som H1000 it did real well with 175 ELDX.

I'm heavy with n565 and H4831/1000.
R23 also, if faster burn rate helps with them.

If I get a chance to run some H1000 this weekend I'll post it up

You can try H4350 (favorite among long-range shooters), it works well with a variety of bullet weights and it offers excellent temperature stability and consistent velocities

 

[Phil Rizzo]

Would I need a burn rate that fast, or would H4831likely?

H4831 is a great choice for your setup, especially if you're shooting heavier bullets, it has slower burn rate compared to faster powders, which can help with achieving higher velocities and better accuracy in a 26" barrel with an 8 twist.

So if you're looking for consistency and performance, H4831 should work well for your needs!

Just make sure to check your load data an adjust accordingly based on the specific bullet weight and type you're using.

...........and make sure you always start with a lower charge and work your way up while monitoring for any signs of pressure!

Goodluck

I shoot a 7 max 66.5 h4831 with 151 pva Cayuga at 3182 with a 26" barrel. I think the prc has more capacity .
