I just shot through my first 50 ADG cases on my 300 PRC. I ran a ladder to try and match my velocities with fire-formed RWS 8x68S brass. I am going to be trying:
28" barrel @ 1-9
ADG Brass
73.4 gr RL 26
Berger 230s
BR-2 primers
.030 off
Expecting to average just under 2850 fps - that's where the two ladder rounds at this charge weight landed.

Just starting my load development but I’m running a 0.334 turned necks =0.3365 loaded
Today ran 77.5, 78.0 and 78.5 with 215 Bergers 0.02” off HORNADY brass FGM215M primers. Got 2896,2905, and 2949 FPS. Low and high made 1/2 moa or better
You might look at Whidden, i believe you can pick up their 30 cal bushing kit for $70 that includes sizes .333 to .337 or individual sizes at $16 ea. Of course there is shipping also.
These are the best results I've gotten so far ... looking forward to trying ADG brass

Just finished load development on another 300 PRC hunting rifle...9 lbs with scope
Specs
Bighorn SR3
24” Bartlein #4 carbon barrel
1:10 twist
Barrel work by Beanland
Beast 4 port ti brake, very effective
ADG brass
CCI250 primers
75.6 RL26 powder
215 hybrids at .030, 3.705 OAL +/-
2885 FPS...24” barrel
There is plenty of room for more speed but this gives me adequate velocity at 1,200 yards to open the bullet and it’s not too fast at short range. Should be perfect for my hunting scenario.

Thanks, I was just about to post that question. The Hornady brass has actually held up pretty well thru 6X
