[QUOTE="SloppyJ, post: 3075219, member: 127658"] I took the first 30 shots out of my 22" proof barreled 300prc yesterday. Here's what I worked up to. Surprisingly, I didn't see many pressure signs. I tested Berger 215s, ELDX 200s, and TTSX 180s with a mix of Retumbo, H1000, and Staball HD. I had some odd shots where decent bumps in powder caused the velocity to go down. I'm attributing that to high ES numbers and/or issues with my scale. I'm also using BR2s instead of magnum primers but I've heard of a lot of people doing that. I'm going to weigh everything on a beam next time. These were all shot suppressed if it matters. Here's my findings: 215 Bergers H1000 - 80.6gr - 2805fps Retumbo - 80.3 - 2808fps Staball HD - 82.6 - 2794.7 200gr ELDX Staball HD - 83.5gr - 2917.9fps 180 TTSX Staball HD - 84.5gr - 2992fps but 84gr showed 3016fps H1000 - 84gr - 3102fps I'd love to know what others are doing to get 2850 out of the 215s with H1000. I felt my 82.6gr was on the spicy end of the load. This was also my first time using my garmin chrono. It only missed one shot because it prompted to update and I didn't see it in time. Not sure on the accuracy but it never hesitated recording the shots. Like I said, maybe my barrel is just slow? Hopefully it will speed up here in the next 70 shots or so. [/QUOTE]
