Hornady 300PRC factory velocity?

[Totoro]

Hey fellas, anyone 'graph either factory loaded 212ELDX or 225ELDM?

If so how was the MV/ES/SD in your rifle?

Thx

212 ran 2880 and the 225 ran about 2840 in my rifle with a 1 in 9 twist. Both very accurate out to 500 especially the 212. Using a magneto speed to collect.

What's posted on the box for muzzle velocities on them? Just curious if it's close to what's advertised?

What barrel length?

Sorry about that. Mine is a 24 inch barrel and the box says 2860 for the 212. I dont know on the 225 I already thru them in the trash.

Using Hornady Match 225 gr. ELD-M .300PRC ammunition , in a Christensen Arms Mesa Long Range rifle , 26" barrel , Nightforce NXS 5.5x22 scope , with Magnetospeed attached , my friend's rifle averaged 2876 FPS for 5 shots with a 7 FPS ES .
Accuracy was exceptional , 6 shots into 1 enlarged hole at 100 yards , .5" C-C , (3 shots each by my friend and me , into same cluster ).
At a distance of 318 yards , measured by my KILO 2400ABS range finder , he shot a 3-shot group that measured .355" ( 2 touching and 1 just outside of touching the first 2 shots ). I shot a 3 shot group at that same 318 yard distance that measured .820" center-center .
I don't think that either he or I can reload ammunition that will be able to match the accuracy or close extreme spread of velocity that was produced by the factory Hornady Match ammunition .

With the 225 ELDM I'm getting about 2870 out of a 26" Bartlein.
