Interesting. I haven't heard of anyone running two full grains over max with 225/230s and no pressure signs. 77.5 is HOT with RL26 and 230s.
Maybe his eyes ain't so good anymore. Should atleast see some ejector swipes.

I have a load with berger 215's that is ridiculously consistent, anybody call Berger and get their load data? Damn, talk about warm. I started a full grain under their starting suggestion.

They are accurate to a point. Every barrel with different internal dimensions as well different land and groove widths and number of lands will change the BC slightly . You have to establish the best number for your rifle.Are the A tips BC’s pretty accurate?

Hornady measures everything with Doppler radar. Most of the time out of more than one rifle/barrel combo. and I forgot twist rate affects BC also. Radar is very very accurate. I have data for other bullets from other sources and the data is enlightening.I have to do that with with my Berger’s and ELDm’s.
I was more wondering if the A tip needed less adjustments in BC at mile plus than say the eldm’s do.
I suppose the BC for both is calculated in a similar manner at a similar range.
Send it to Dave, he’s been awesome at replying and helping on this thread and has been involved in this cartridge for a decadeI’ve been following this thread and you guys talked me out of a 30 nos and into the prc. I have a 1-8 26’ proof carbon blank coming. It will be a long range hunter target rifle. Plans to shoot the 215 hybrids 225’a and the 230 Atips. I need this shouldered for a bighorn SR3 and will be fed from a Wyatt extended box... any suggestions on reamer setup or is everyone using a sammi spec freebore? I thought I would have time to get everything together to build some dummy rounds but my barrel shipped yesterday so I would like to send it out pretty quick. I’m planning on calling LRI andstraightjacket Monday, any others I should think about? Thanks!!
I shot 20 rounds of Factory I believe....nope...40 rounds....and my gunsmith shot like 5 of those I think. I didn't have a 'real' chronograph when I shot them. I had an old optical and it is about as accurate as....well I'll leave the political crap out of this thread....but you get my drift.
I just remember the first time I pulled the trigger....and I giggled...and everyone around me giggled...and I've been giggling ever since. I believe the factory ammo is about as good as you can get for factory....and that is damn good. I thought I could play with seating depths and different powders. Seating depth is almost exactly where factory is....and powders....well Hornady is running the same powders that most of us are having a hard time finding. No need to add more horsepower either....factory rounds seem hot and on the upper edge.
Good to know picked up 100 rounds to break in the barrel and start to play with. I am tempted to run the match just with factory ammo...would save me a lot of time and hassle... but loading up some 230 atips seem like fun
I just traded my 300prc off for a 30nos in a more “hunter friendly” set up. I have the Gunwerks ClymR 30 nos in a 22” proof barrel. It came directly from gunwerks so it has the turret based on their loads.I should have my 22" 300prc hunting rifle done in a few weeks. 22 seems to be the compromise length between weight / length / being handy / speed. RL26 gets these pills moving quiet a bit faster then H1k without the pressure. I am going for 2850-2900 with the 215 berger. With the speeds I'm seeing in my 26 and 27 inch tubes I have very little doubt that it will get there. I will run the TB Ultra 7 or maybe the 5 on there also. So muzzle blast is something I'm not worried about.
I'll update the thread in a few weeks after I get some rounds through it and record the velocities. The 22" 6.5 PRC that I have shoots the 156 bergers at 2900 without issue, so I hope to get the same 2900 in the 300prc with the 215s. It will hammer elk if that's the case.
@Jmcmath is also building a shorty hunter. Think he doing 21" but he can correct me/jwknutson17
Factory ES for me was pretty wide, 50+ if recall, but the barrel was new and my experience was they're pretty hot. As for ADG vs. H, the more/farther you shoot the more you'll want the ADG due to quality and consistency. Don't have my 300 in yet, but I do have ADG in 6.5 PRC and the difference from HBrass is material enough to warrant the additional cost.....for me.Anyone shoot enough of the factory 225 ELD 300 PRC to get as sense of what SD/ES is expected?
Really debating if ADG brass is worth it over the Hornady..... Need at least 300 pieces as the gun is for the NF ELR Match which is a pretty penny...

HB (50 Lot)Just for primer pockets/durability or what?
Sorry for late reply.Thanks for the info. What powder and reload specs? I'm guessing your going to want to stick to the 200-215gr pills with that tube. Asking a lot for the 230s in a 21" tube. Probably not going to be worth it.
I hate to do this but reading threw 52 pages is way to much. I read threw some But has anyone tried the 250 atips in the 300 prc 28 inch barrel? Velocity?

I'm using H1000, Fed 215 primers, and Hornady brass with the 208gr A-Max #30732. Resized in Hornady FL die with a .336" bushing bumping shoulders .0015 avg. COAL to meplat is 3.648" average.
I hope the 230 grainers work because I committed to a whole lot of them.
So it was you !!!! What happened to common sense brass buying ? LOL stockpile bro stack em deep... meanwhile I’ll keep cycling that Hornady and praying for divine intervention or a miracleWow... late to the game.
I ordered the last 3 boxes left at creedmoor sports... and the last 2 boxes left at Precision Reloading for the ADG brass.
Should be enough to do development and then for the NF Match. lol
ADG direct from sherman. Pre fireformingRCC brass with custom stamp?

Who’s gunna be the first to shoot the new prc brass
My ADG brass won't be here until tomorrow. I'd like to get a head start on ordering bushings for my Whidden dies.
Can some one who has there ADG brass in hand help me determine what size(s) bushings to order?
