Join the contest SubscribeThere are a ton of loads in this thread...but there is also a thread in the reloading section about loading for the 300PRC. Many people were using H1000 at first...I don't think they are still using it though...I could be wrong. My load today with RL-26, 230gr A-Tips, and ADG Brass was 2980fps out of a 28" Bartlein....and the 1 Mile target wasn't all that difficult today.
However....I'm running way hotter than you probably would ever want to...because I'm stupid.
I personally prefer RL-26...then Vhitavoruori N565....then Retumbo.
I am running 2860fps on a 26inch with ADG and Rl26, so on a 28 you can't be running that hot.
I have a pretty happy node but I am debating about going up one.
2,887fps in a 26" with N565 and Hornady brass here. Ran my numbers compared to the 225g ELDM and I think you really need to be moving the A-tips mid 2,900's to get the most out of them in the PRC. Thinking of just switching back to the 225g ELDM and saving some money on components.

I am on cloud 9 right now.
Won the local ELR match shooting the my 300 PRC.
Went 7 for 10 on a 2080y 1.6 MOA target. And then 2 for 10 on a 2680y 1.4 MOA target. Beating out everyone with 375s and 416s. Thing is a laser.

So...>I'm assuming those A-Tips in the ADG brass worked really well....I just got done reloading 100 230's in ADG brass and RL-26....maybe I'll have similarluckResults in a few weeks.
Oh yes, and I am loaded a magnitude less then you. Pushing 2860/70 FPS.
Finishing up a build myself and was fortunate to grab an 8# jug of H1000 as well... Only to now see that R26 seems the preferred powder.
Never ends.
Have you found RL-26 not to be temp stable? i have read a lot of different things at this point.
@b2lee that is sexy, is that a cerakote on the chassis? Looks almost like a rattle can job.
Anyone have an COAL number for case loaded with 230 ATIP, 230 Berger and/or 215 berger where the bullet is seated above the neck shoulder junction?
I can give you the 230gr A-Tip measurement later tonight when I return home from work....13hr days man......getting to me. I can also give you the 250 A-tips if you like. I don't have any Bergers in house...I have some 245 EOL's on the way though.
awesome... Thank you. Just trying to see what magazines I need to correctly fit.

Been wanting to see results as well for this one. I plan on trying this bullet once my rifle is complete.Has anyone tried out the new 208 LRHT from Berger? Might be able to eek out a few more FPS while matching the bc of the 215.

For reference and to add to, out of a brand new 22.5” barrel I fired one 212 ELDX at 2835fps and fired one 220eldm at 2747.Well I finally made it to the range and have some 20” data to share.
This was a brand new barrel shooting factory hornady 225 eld-m. This was my first time using lab radar so while I shot the entire 20rd box I only have valid velocity readings for 17 rds. All shots were fired with Nomad-30 attached.
The average velocity = 2721 FPS.
High = 2756 FPS
Low = 2685 FPS
ES = 71 FPS
This equates to roughly a 22 FPS loss per inch from hornady stated test barrel velocity.

78.0 -78.4 looks like a node to me. 78.2 could be a fluke
1. I was hoping to be a little bit faster with the 225 ELD M. I'm guessing to get faster I'd need to try a different powders?
