[QUOTE="seidersjoden, post: 2239517, member: 56644"] Joden here. I have quite a bit of experience with the 65 PRC, I killed quite a few critters with it couple over 1K. So now that my experience has checked out and I’m not just some keyboard hero here we go. My gun was built by GA precision. When I did load development I found that 58g of H1000 was starting to show pressure signs. So I backed that down and found that 56.6g was my go to load, especially considering hornady brass is a little softer. I was getting 3026FPS. And the brass lasted 5-6 firings. The fact that you were shooting a heavier bullet and more powder even with ADG brass, you are definitely over pressured. You might be able to get away with it if you were shooting a lighter bullet but it depends on what you want. That Berger Bullets has good BC so personally I would stick with it lower the load, quit chasing the numbers, add a few more clicks. Good luck! -J [/QUOTE]
