[QUOTE="Chamberman, post: 1387910, member: 45142"] I just chambered the PRC on one of my personal Proof Research barrels. (24" 1:8 twist) Purchased the reamer from PTG. They had three reamers in stock, and the drawing said the reamer was produced for the new factory ammo... HA!!! Factory ammo is 2.950 COAL The reamers throat was .030 short of Ogive on the 143 ELD-X factory Ammo, so I had to use a unithroater to gain the .030, plus i went another .030 for a total of .060. So right now the bullet only has .030 jump. I have an email in to Hornady to see what they are throating their chambers. Velocities were in the 2950 range, but showed slight pressure on the case head. I have only shot a total of 11 rounds, and am stopping testing until i hear from Hornady. [/QUOTE]
