I am new to the long range shooting. This last year I was able to save up and am having a custom built 300 prc in the works. I have been collecting components as funds and availability allows. I have 100 rounds of loaded ammo for break in and after that I have little to no experience on how to percision reload. Any advice for a newbie. Thanks

If your factory rounds shoot like they should you won't need reloads,
What do you have for components so far?
What are you wondering about specifically?
What are you expectations?
Give us the build details!!!

So the build is a stiller preditor action with a carbon 6 24" 1:9 barrel, ag composite alpine hunter stock hs percision dbm and trigger tech special have a 20 moa rail and probably going with a luepold vx5 4-20 scope( still thinking between the leupold and zeiss 6-24.)
I have 1000 215m primers and a lbs of h1000. I have 205 berger hunter hybrids and 200 eldx. I am waiting on some n570. I have reloaded a little with a buddies help. I don't want to have to rely on factory ammo availability. Main use is elk hunting first and foremost. I will be wanting to play at 1000+ yrds but not on animals. I am also keeping it as light as possible as it will be packed. This is my first full custom.

I like mine, for me , it's about controlling the recoil. Waiting for some warmer weather to start a ladder with the 245 bergers + n570. Heard some issues with sizing but hit or miss depending on how yours was chambered.
How many pounds of H-1000? Just clarifying as one pound will only get you 90 reloads.

if you're working with ( what's up with the font?) new brass, measuring your base before and after one fired the after sizing

I went with 20 off the lands for the bergers and 212 eldx, very easy to find accuracy nodes, I worked mine up at 200 so I could see group spread a little better. H1000 was a little too fast burn rate at my low elevation with 212's.
I am up in Montana. It's usually around 5-7000 ft where I'm hunting. I will have to see what my gun likes I guess.

H1000 should be great there

I'd measure to lands and see if its chambered for the longer bullets and see where it puts those lighter bullets
That's the hope. The only problem is if it does do good and thats what my gun likes and then I have to try and find more. It isn't impossible but who knows. I was able to get some primers the other day at a reasonable price
