[QUOTE="RogerPA, post: 2077141, member: 70741"] With a view towards full disclosure, and related to my testing of the 178 gr. Absolute Hammer’s in the .300 PRC: The “slight flattening of primer”, in the 80 gr. charge of RL23 I referenced above, has also shown some slight ejector marks, (especially in a cold bore). Subsequently, I backed off to 79.5 grains to complete my testing to 600 yards. (3265 FPS on average.) They shoot really well, and as I noted earlier, with the reduced muzzle jump, I can now see most of my impacts at 500+ yards. (I was never able to see them with 190/212 gr. loads I developed earlier.) As a plus, according to my energy app anyway, the 178 grain @ 3265 FPS, is delivering better than 4200 EFP at muzzle. I can’t imagine too many game animals I’ll ever shoot at would appreciate that too much... [/QUOTE]
