Reloading 7mm PRC

[PatriotHenry]

@Countrykang8 Nice, I have some H-1000 for my 300WM, might have to share if I don't find any on the shelf soon. Why didn't I buy that 8 pounder when I saw it 4 months ago!?!?

PV has 1lbers in stock, just request the same lot #.

Your numbers are low like mine. I am getting 2788 out of my 22" Bergara B14. Hornady either lies or seriously embellish their numbers.

Hornady is now on their 3rd type of powder. The early ammo we received that was loaded with Reloader 26 met the velocity claims on the box.

Their marketing is back firing on themselves.

2770 out of a 22" Proof with the same factory ammo

I have had good luck with V V N560 around 2960 to 3000 in a 24" benchmark 81/2 T

Unfortunately, I bought ammo from the slower lot. I would shoot the factory 175 ELDX if they would run 2900.

Try the Federal ELDX been seeing where it shoots as advertised or better. I just bought some 155 terminal ascent to try this week

Got to the range today. The 180 Scenar hand loads were more accurate than the factory 180 ELD M's.

The factory ELD M's averaged 2888 fps

The 180 Scenars with 66.5 grs of H1000 averaged 2950 fps

The 180 Scenars with 67.0 grs of H1000 averaged 2993 fps and I stopped there.

Both loads shot well. Bullets were seated .002 off of a kiss. I am going to try .0017, .0023 and .0025 off with one of the two mentioned charges. BTW, I have a 26" Bartlein.

Whoops!!! Meant to say that I am going to try .017, .020, .023 and .026 off of the kiss. Added an extra zero in there!

155s from 18 inch barrel Federal is on their game....box says 3100 with 24 inch. Working up some 162 ELDM loads today RL23 an V560 look pretty good over 2800 an no pressure so far with being few grains under max book load.

@prcwv those are very nice velocities out of a 18inch barrel. Which barrel, twist rate, and action are you using?

 

[prcwv]

Savage Apex Hunter left hand 1in8 twist

I've been running 70gr of Retumbo under the 175 ELDX in most of the rifles that we have built. I'm using Hornady brass and GM215M primers. It seems like a great all around load as I haven't had any rifles not meet our accuracy standard which is under 1/2" at 100 yards for all 30 cal and under. This load runs a consistent 3000 FPS out of a 24" barrel. Pretty hard to argue with those results! I'm definitely going to have to build myself a 7PRC one of these days...

How far off the lands are you running? And your oal too? Thanks.
