Almost 2 years running.... 3000 post and 308,000 views.....and the Feral Kitten hits the stop button... doh!!!
MehCongratulations Steel Head, you ruined Christmas.
unlike the 419 press thread
Valuable life lessons.Yea...this thread has taught me a lot....got me to get out of my 308/6.5cm box....oh...and cost me a LOT of money.
ADG is a little less volume. My last trip I ran 73.4 gr of RL26 in my 28" barrel and got 2860ish, which is a little faster than I want to run. I'm going to play with a slightly lower load next time.
He got scared????Why is that faster then you want to run?
I am hoping for 2900 out of my barrel....
yeah I'm looking for 3200 with the 220 LRHT lolHe got scared????
It will be interesting to see the differences between the two for myself. Had to trim quite a bit off the hornady brass. They were already over length after first firing. Although they did seem like hot loads but still. Man, that Christensen arms has a tight chamber. I suspect the adg brass will be snug if I don’t bump it back a smidge. Might just load some light rounds through some of it without resizing just
Anyone got 230gr A-Tips cheaper than Powder Valley? They have them for $71.63 for both the 230 and 250 grain boxes of 100. I've been throwing a box or two in every order for the past few weeks. Everytime a powder becomes available I need...I also grab a box of A-Tips.

Any update on short bbl data? I’m real curious.Should be getting y’all some short barrel data soon.
Any update on short bbl data? I’m real curious.
That rifle is awesome... my 26” gun is shooting 210VLD Hunt and 212 ELD-X great... no complaints. But at some point I wanna do another rifle basically like yours there... super light hunter.
I’m curious if the short barrel slings the light or heavy bullets better... and which powder. I have some guesses... but you have the data.![]()
Nothing to report yet, this damn virus is slowing everything down. Hopefully in the next week or two I will get to go shoot some.
I plan on using factory 225 eld-m and I have RL 50 to try with the new Berger 245s to test velocity. Berger has suggested I stay away from RL 26, but If anybody has data to contradict this I'd love to hear it.
I figure if I can get the 245s to 2600-2700 the BC and energy on target will beat out the lighter 215/212 class bullets. The 230 A-tip would likely be better having as similar BC and I should be able to push it faster, but I'm hoping for a bullet I could use for everything so we'll see how the 245 does.
I’m also wondering about the 250’s . Is anybody running these and noticing a difference. Sorry if this has already posted
I’m not really surprised.I'm going to have to eat crow...
Ramshot magnum has gotten real unstable in velocities..for me!....the Temps have been in the 80s and maybe pushing a 90...it was doing great for me with Temps in the mid to high 50s...
Why is that faster then you want to run?

didn't know they were doing the TCS in long action?Will be getting in to the 300PRC game next year. Purchased a Bix N Andy Tac Sport Pro from the PX, put in an order for a 26" 9 twist Lilja MTU barrel. Planning on going with a BAT HR and the new Manners PRS-TCS stock. Looking to use it primarily as long range target shooter.
Anyone running a 9 twist? How is barrel life for the prc? Any good brake recommendations? I have a TBAC brake going on my 280AI hunting rifle with Ultra 7 coming some time next year. Should I stick with another TBAC to swap the can back and forth?
I was having some inconsistent neck tension on the first 100 ADG brass. (snip)

Just dialed in my load with ADG brass. Below are the seating depth results - I was shocked that the best loads came with > 60 thousand jump.
215gr Berger, ADG brass, 76.2gr RL-26, Fed Gold 215M primers.
Landed on 90 thousand jump. Shot steel out to 1000yds with this load - dope was spot on.

I tested 60, 70, 80, 90etc, no difference so im loading 70 off and not gonna worry about chasingIve never shot the 215s that far off. I'll give it a try next time. How many round groups are you shooting.

This thread is going to cost me money. Not really impressed with the SAUM speeds Im getting and want to step up to a 300WM but might as well do it right and skip the belt right out of the gate.
For the short barrel guys is a 215 HYB @ 2850 doable from a suppressed 22.5" barrel?
My 22 inch with tbac slings em at 2910 without pressure with RL26. 215s, ADG brass and cci250s.
Damn that’s a nice blaster.
Have a jug of 26 on backorder but plenty of H1000 and some 7977 too so should be good to get started. Got 100 pcs of ADG brass coming too just need some dies.

HotHere is a better picture. I had to switch back to ARC rings. I bought the new ultra light zeiss ones with the bubble level and they slipped like crazy. Was all the way up to 28 inch pounds and still didn't work. They recommend 16. So back to the ARCs and they are solid.
Most actions without a continuous pic rail base have issues mounting the S&B 3-20US but in this case with the Lone Peak Fusion TI LA is works just right. Haven't decided whether or not the Ultra 5 or 7 will live on the rifle or not and what one is going to the other hinting rig.
Complete rifle with mag, and with the suppressor on there weighs 11.1 lbs. I was planning on 12 or less so I'm thrilled with the combo. Should be still be around 11.5 with loaded mag and a sling.

the 245 may be a little harder than the 210 or new 205 but it really depends what you're looking for speed wise. 26" is a help for sure over a 22"Hi everyone,
Just about to send my parts off to Mile High to get my 300 PRC built. Can someone post what the H2O capacity of once fired ADG brass is coming in at? I've heard hornady brass is around 97 or 99 gn, but some say ADG is more like 93. I'm working with quickload to figure out which bullet to shoot. I'm using it for hunting and I'm partial to the bergers, so I was hoping for the 245 gr, but the 210 is my next choice.

When they spin up my barrel, I need to send a dummy round with approximate seating depth. I don't want to go 245 if it's super slow from case capacity being I'm already limited by mag length at 3.780, less 0.045 for functional room for the bullet, and that's assuming ogive at the lands. Then I like to be 20-30 off the lands but we'll see where the bullet likes it.
I hear you on costing money.
Finally got to shoot over a chrono. This is what I'm working with so far.

It might not be so bad. I wanted to load up a couple rounds to take some measurements and I was able to use my RCBS 308 seater with the bullet window and after measuring a couple pieces of ADG brass with bullets seated I got .337 which is perfect since I already have a .335 bushing. So two less things to buy.
Sounds like you'll have a nice rifle soon.
Nice results, looks like a nice flat spot with the 225 at 77.5 H1000. That gives me hope I can get to 2850 with the 215 HYB with a 22.5" bbl.
