I am in the planning stages of a 300 PRC build myself & would love to see more follow-up posts like this. I'll be building mine on an Ultimatum action so I can swap bolt heads/barrels out for various calibres. Hornady ELD-X & Nobler ABLR bullets are what I'm gravitating too (I'm in Australia &...

Jack, thanks for that.

Jud96, Thanks for the advice. I see a lot of good advice on here regarding reloading so wanted to see what 'seasoned' reloaders thought (or may have used). Your points/guidance is appreciated.

I recently got my hands on some 90g ELD-X bullets for reloading with my .243 and a Hornady 10th Edition book - BUT I soon found out Hornady doesn't have any load data for that bullet/weight yet (see my enquiry and thier responce below). I am just starting out with reloading and this will be my...
