I am waiting on may barrel for my custom 300 prc to show and then will be starting load development for the upcoming montana elk season. Will be the main use for the gun and occasional long range plinking. What bullets are most using an what have been your results. Any to stay away from? Barrel is a 1 in 9 twist. Thanks
300 prc bullet of choice.

If components weren't so difficult to come by, I would try N570/RL33 and 245 Berger's. I use 230's now with great success. My Dad's RUM shoots the 200 Accubond with fantastic groups, especially for a barrel that was supposedly shot out. Good luck with your quest and don't forget to show pics of the finished rifle.

I shoot a 30-28 Nosler. It's pretty much the same as the 300 PRC.
N570 and RL26 with 215 Bergers.
It will depend on how long you are able to run them if you can shoot the heavier Bergers. Personally I'd stick with the 215 if you can seat them long enough.

I have some h1000 and have a source for n570. I picked up match primers the other day reasonably priced. I have some 205 berger and some 200 eldx from my 300 win. Currently only have hornady brass. Adg on backorder. Thanks for all the input. Hopefully my gun will like one of those. I appreciate the input on bullets. Hoping I can get two elk tags this year for my area so I can try the gun out this season.. I can always find elk just nothing worth shooting.

You actually have multiple chrono data to back this up? Is the chrono at least 15 feet away?
I started a thread on it. Using labradar, multiple shots with new ADG brass. Shooting around 0.4 moa out to 425 yards so far. Will be shooting more this next week.

I know these are 200 grain, not 199 hammers. But I just don't see magical extra 200 fps over listed loads that generally tend to be hard to duplicate in the real world. I'm trying to find accuracy of the LabRadar unit.
Even the 30 nosler which is about the same case volume is a 2900 fps 200 grain shooter. I reload lots of r=26, magpro and magnum

The RUM can push the 199 Hammer 3100 easy. I've been hunting with the 200 frain Accubond at 3200 for a long, long time. Last year the 181 Hammer at **** near 3400. 406muleyI know these are 200 grain, not 199 hammers.
