I loaded about 79.0 h1000 and 215 hybrids, made about 2980 fps.Question for you all on H1000 loads behind a Berger 215 Hybrid Target.
I recently had a 300 PRC built (Borden Action, Lilja 25” Barrel 1:9 twist. Using ADG brass.)
I called Berger for recommended min/max load data. They said for the 215 min is 80.0 and max is 84.1 gr H1000.
To me, this seems very high. Their min is above the max published by Hornady for both the 212 and 220 gr bullets. I’ve read through most of the 68 pages of posts here...thanks for all the info!! And seems like most of you using H1000 with Berger 215 are ending up in that 78-79gr range. I don’t know that I’ve seen a single post here trying anything above 81gr.
any input is greatly appreciated!!!
GRC agrees with you, but QuickLoad finds lower pressures and I think that is where Berger load data is coming from. I wouldn't push it.Question for you all on H1000 loads behind a Berger 215 Hybrid Target.

That’s a good point. I haven’t done anything with the case volume in quickload or GRC yet. Only fifteen rounds through this guy now.Not to mention it's ADG brass vs. Hornady. 80-84 gr is more like Retumbo ranges than H1000. The Hornady load data for 212s give a range 70.1 to 78.1 gr of H1000. The smaller case volume of the ADG brass would take this even lower. I would start on the lower end of that range and work up.
Just asked them a couple of days ago. They said it's not on their Radar but is has gotten their interest. Whatever that means.Any news on Peterson Brass coming out for 300PRC?
Anyone reloading 300 PRC on a Dillon 550? Trying to determine what shell plate conversion I’ll need. Would it be:
#B Shellplate - # 13347
#6 Locator Button - # 15755
since the parent case is the .375 Ruger?
A little late in the game for testing....but I have a 1 mile and 1000yd tactical comp next weekend. My current loads were giving me too much vertical stringing. Some of that was self induced with fundamentals and I'm working on that. However, I did some quick load development mainly based on neck tension, OAL, and gasp....full length resizing.
First....I'll apologize and say Eric Cortina is not full of shit. At the end of the day my full length sized brass....prepped my way...with 2 thou shoulder bump back....shot much better than my current load or other loads I tested that were neck sized only....both in group and SD measured by MagnetoSpeedV3.
New total round count for barrel is 1034. Powder is Vihtavouri N565. Bullet is Hornady A-Tips 230 grain. OAL is now 3.850. Full length resized with a 2 thou shoulder bump. 2 thou of neck tension and bullets seated with LE Wilson arbor press dies and K&M Arbor Press. All brass freshly annealed. Primer was FGMM 215M's.
Best 5 shot group
Max speed of group was 2952
Min speed of group was 2939
AVG speed of group was 2946
Standard Deviation of 5.7fps
I'll take that on a barrel that has 1000+ rounds of magnum through it.
These shot the best group of the day at 100yds with a size of 0.34".
I had some groups that were 1.1" and you couldn't really call any of them 'the flyer'...like a shotgun pattern.
Most batches had a SD around 7.5fps...and most shot 0.60" or about.
One batch had a SD over 12fps....that was the one that shot the 1.1" group.
After next weeks event....time to rebarrel I guess...but I may be forced to use it a bit longer due to both finances and wait time on work to be done.
@Mk32784 Next year?....we still got tons of stuff to do THIS yearI'm still looking forward to going to 2700yards next month.... I think I can do 3000 holding over in the reticle....we'll see.
I'm sure @Steel head will talk me into getting a Charlie Tarac by then.

Just got some n565. 70gn a good starting point? Also what’s people seeing for max load? 230gn Berger. I want an idea of where to stop. I hate pulling bullets.

300 PRC
I decided to mine the 300 PRC thread in the ELR subforum for handload data ahead of starting to work up a load for my rifle, working backwards from recent posts. I think I fully mined that thread as of today (11/27/19) but if I missed any please plug them in or post your own load data. I know...www.snipershide.com
What are your barrel specs again? I've got a few pounds inbound that I'm going to play with.
Just picked up a couple jugs of RL26 to try alongside H1000. I’m guessing back off a couple grains? Maybe 74.4 vs 76 for H1000 & 230 Hybrid?
Sure hope the rumors of it going to shiite above 85* are false. 85* is a cool summer day here in TX.

RCC brass? That’s what I have. Just waiting on my 30” Bartlein barrel to get here
Dipping into the gun savings... Just not happy with the concentricity I've been getting from the Whidden dies.
