[QUOTE="Hawk in WY, post: 2535536, member: 70947"] My 300 PRC has a very short throat. The 199 Shock Hammer .02 off the lands results in COAL of 3.24 which is absurdly short. The good news is 75 gr of RL-26 shoots the 199 Shock Hammer into one hole at 2,919 fps which Quickload tells me is close to max pressure. If I use a throat ream to get to where the bullet should be in the case, COAL is 3.54 but Quickload tells me velocity drops to 2,812. To get back to 2,919 would require over 77 grains of powder. Max pressure at 3.54 seems to be around 79 grains for 2,950. Are there any reasons I should not just leave things as they are? Please don't tell me I should be shooting lighter bullets. Elk have been dead enough with this weight Barnes bullet. [/QUOTE]
