7mm PRC load

[Elkbuster]

Here's what I'm running in my 7 PRC. Took an Idaho Mule Deer last year at 806 yds. This load for me is very accurate.
71.5 - Retumbo
berger 180 VLD Hunting
CCI 250 Mag Primer
ADG Brass
22" Proof CF
Velo - 3050 FPS

Shooting? Yes.
Own? No.

3050 with a 180 isn't bad!
Thanks to Peterson and ADG!

Lapua needs to get on the ball and release some 7PRC brass. They already support 6.5PRC amd 300PRC.

Peterson and ADG is good brass. But if Lapua adds the 7PRC to their line up I'll consider rebarreling my 7mm RM to the 7PRC when/ if my barrel is toast.

I literally just finished prepping 100 rounds of new ADG brass for a 7PRC I picked up from Short Action Customs yesterday. Planning to run 180 Berger Hybrids but have some 180 VLD's and 168 Classic Hunters if needed.

Now that the work is done, I'm trying to decide where to start- this will be only my second time working up a load. I've got plenty of H1000, Retumbo, N565, and RL26. H1000 seems like the easy button.

Actually found this thread looking for data on LRM vs LR primers for the cartridge. If it keeps the conversation in line with OP, I'd be open to suggestions.

LR Mag primers for the charge weights the 7PRC will run.
I started at 66.0gr H1000, up to 70.0gr.
180 Hyb would be my personal choice.

Got this after I started yesterday but I was close. Started at 65 of H1000, 2777 fps, 66 was 2809, 67 was 2854, 68 was 2910, 68.5 was 2950. Stopped there as I am breaking in the barrel and I wasn't sure if I should push it much further right away.
Gave it a good cleaning (30 shots in now) and am currently loading 20 more at 68 grains for seating depth testing.
Trying to get as much data as I can while getting the first 100 or so down the barrel!

Add: thanks for the note on the cartridge capacity vs proper primer as well.
