RL-26 or H1000 for 200 gr bullets

[BlazerBeam]

300 PRC with 24 inch barrel. Going to shoot 200 gr accubonds. H1000 or RL26 be better for the barrel length and bullet weight? I am pretty well versed in H1000 applications, but is rl26 better for heavier bullets than 200 grains or longer barrels or what would you try first?

Just yield you more velocity.. I've been using h1000 in a couple 300prcs/22inch barrels and 220 hybrids. Average velocity is 2785... h1000 is never going to be the fastest powder, but it's been proven

Ive had excellent results with R26 for up to 225gr then R33 for the 230/245 bullets

If you have any, N570 was the magic powder for my 300 PRC and 215 Hybrids.

X2, temp stable and easy to work with. 7.3 Powerstroke, never the fastest but still running after a hundred thousand 6.4s are dead.

The throat in his rifle was so threatened by that it already eroded by a few thous

Never kept one long enough to find out

Rl 26 and N560 loads nearly neck and neck in the 6.5 Prc . H1000 fills the case guicker , getting less vel , but works . I would think that would also be the case with the 300 Prc so a powder choice in between those burn rates would be where I would look ,example N565 N570 H4831 Rl23 etc .try too get 98 too 100 percent case fill before pressuring out for max vel. Good luck.

What was your charge weight on that one?

I went with 80.6. The group at 80.5 should have been one hole but I pulled it.......

I get good results with RL 26 in mine with 210 LRAB and 200 AB. Pushes the 200"s over 3100 out of 26 inch Lilja 3 groove !!

80.7gr of H1k yields 2950 with a 200 in mine. I could push it faster but no need.
