[QUOTE="calinb, post: 2164608, member: 31242"] I just got a 300 PRC rifle and I'm looking for a powder for heavy bullets (at a time when finding ANY powder is a challenge). I'm trying to resurrect this old thread, because Hodgdon now DOES publish US 869 data for the 230 gr. and 250 gr. A-Tip bullets and, even better, [B]US 869 is the highest velocity powder Hodgdon lists for those bullets [/B]...and by a good margin in the case of the 250 gr. A-Tip! Have a look at either the Hodgdon 2021 Annual Manual or [URL]https://www.hodgdonreloading.com/reloading-data-center[/URL] As is sometimes the case when Quickload gets it wrong, I would not even consider 869 based on the low velocity Quickload results, but it's hard to ignore the published Hodgdon data. I'd like to try 869 with EOL 245 gr. Bergers. Any new reports or opinions? Any similar experiences with 869 Quickload runs (far lower velocity than published data)? [/QUOTE]
