[QUOTE="CoupleKimbers, post: 2511507, member: 100841"] I've got a Christensen Ridgeline in the 300 PRC. I've been shooting the 212 eld-x for the last year or so trying to make them fly the best they can. I've used R-26, Imr-8133, Retumbo and H-1000. I've got about 300 rounds through it now and H-1000 is my winner. I've been able to get .5 groups with each powder but H1000 has shown me the largest nodes, most consistent groups, and lowest ES/SD. R-26 was speedy with 76.5 gr at 2995 but would shoot .5 one day and .8 the next. I had a rough time keeping it to group well at 300 plus yards. Retumbo was my second best and IMR - 8133 held its own too. For my gun, the choice would be H1000, Retumbo, IMR-8133 and then R-26 (In That Order). The **** gun has taken me way too long to find something the 212 likes. Wish I would have stocked up on some 200 gr accubonds before everything went to hell with supply issues lol. My current load is; 77.25 gr. H-1000 CCI-250 2X Lapua brass (turned) Hornady 212 - eldx Average velocity 2839 SD: 8.6 .020 off the lands .003 neck tension with redding bushing die. .327 MOA My average SD numbers in H-1000 from 74 gr - 78.5 gr. were less than 18 at each charge weight. 50 rounds of that powder at all charge weights gave me an SD average of about 13. I had some larger spikes with Retumbo and the other powders. Hoping to get it out to 1000 this spring. Just about ready to put an AG Alpine Hunter on order for it. Good luck on your quest!
