Trying my luck with a 300 PRC. Rifle is based on a Savage 112 BVSS 300wm action. Bedded to a John Plaster Choate Ultimate Varmint stock that I had machined to accept Savage Tactical 110 bottom metal and 3.850 CIP mags. Went with a IBI 5R 1:8 31" tube and 4 port brake. I just play around, don't compete but am very regimented in my reloading and shooting. Goals for this build is to be consistent 1/2 moa @ a mile.

I chose the Berger 230gr HB TGT and the Hornady 250gr A-tip.
Hornady brass, full prep.
VV N570 POWDER
Fed 215M primers
Hornady dies with the 250gr stem.

So far I have a few nodes narrowed down but have not proven past 547yds yet due to it being extremely cold. I have whacked steel @ just shy of 900yds and it looks to carry less than 1/2 min (was my last two rounds). Looks like this set up will send these pills FAST. But I think I will stick to the lower node. Thoughts, anyone else have luck with these components?

Some 400yd, this was during barrel break in, first day shooting. Put a few factory Hornady 225 Eld-m rounds to compare.
