7mm PRC

This is

180 eldm
rl26. 66.5gr
Norma brass 2x
215m primer
Gives 3015 and SD 7

Was actually fussy about seating depth. Shot well at. 005 and .050 and nowhere else.

Bergers 184 worked across a broad range of powder charges. This was 66.5 and 66.8

As a follow up question - who has found an acceptable powder in LRT, Magnum, Retumbo, etc. my bbl doesnt love h1000, and it could be 2 years before i find another keg of rl26 (which i burn in my 6.5prc as well)

anyone?

What bullet weight? I’m using Retumbo for Berger 190s and it is getting near 3000 fps in a 30” barrel. SDs are a bit higher than I prefer, but results on target have been very acceptable.

I've had good luck with Ramshot Grand, velocities up there with RL-26, temp stable and available. Staball HD was ok, but didn't really live up to the billing for me, unlike Grand.
