300 prc barrel twist

[chetraguse]

Just wondering what people are running for a twist in the 300 PRC and length. Would like to run the 215 Berger's.

10 will run the 215 but I would get a 9

I've got a 25" 9-twist that shoots lights out with 215's and 230's.

What kind of velocity are you getting with the 25"?

I only have 80rds down the barrel but I'm getting 2880 with a 215 over 77.5gr of H1000.

9twist, running Berger 208's at 3000fps out of 26" Proof CF.

I have a 1-9 twist shooting 178 EldX at 3215 running H1000 and have also had good luck with 212 EldX running Retumbo. Haven't tested the speed on those yet.

I have a 26" 1:9 and it's lights out for 225 ELD-M

I shoot 215s. Mine is a 21" 10 twist....well it's a rock so I guess it's like a 9.9 lol

How close is the Berger 208 and Hornady 178/212 ELD-X/225 ELD-M to the OP's Berger 215 query?

The 208 long range hybrid target has the same G7 as the 215 hybrid. If you do a comparison on Bergers website the spec difference between the 2 is very close.
I run the 215's thru my 300RUM, it's a 10tw.

Sorry, not a PRC, but I run 230's out of my 26" RUM with a 10 twist.

The OP asked specifically for the 215 and 300 PRC; why complicate it unnecessarily, that's all. TGIF

1/9 or 1/10, either will work fine. I've got a 1/10 proof and shoot 1/2 MOA groups at 100 and 200 yards.
