[QUOTE="82Cadi, post: 2530505, member: 122975"] I have lots of reloading experience but not really for precision. I bought a 24” Fierce Carbon Rival in 300PRC. I’ve been working on loads for 220gr ELD-X, 220gr SMK and now 199gr Hammer Hunters. I got very good velocity nodes just shy of 3000fps. However, I was super surprised to see that my rifle is pushing the 220 ELDX 15fps faster than a 199 Hammer Hunter. Is this odd? Someone on Facebook suggested it might not be developing as much pressure because of the rings or something like that. I’m wondering if my powder is too slow and if I may need to step up to something quicker for the lighter bullet. Load: 199gr Hammer Hunter 81.5gr Retumbo New Lapua brass Fed 215 Magnum primers Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
