[QUOTE="calinb, post: 2377830, member: 31242"] The Hodgdon data says 869 is the velocity king of their powders for 300 PRC heavy bullets so I got some 869 to try too (and also Ramshot LRT and even 8lbs of Shooters World 50 BMG, which won't be the velocity king, according to Quickload). Unfortunately, I don't have any 300 PRC brass yet. After about 9 months of waiting, my Bergara B14 HMR remains unfired. I got fed up with waiting on Lapua and Creedmoor Sports so I let them cancel my order after the crazy price increase. I have three boxes of new 416 Ruger brass and all the dies I need to form 300 PRC from it but no time to do it. I also have two boxes of Hornady 218 gr. ELD-X ammo, but I'll save it for hunting someday. I recently ordered some RCC brass. After the Lapua price increase, I think the RCC brass might pencil out in the long run, if it holds up to reloading as well as some claim it does. It will be interesting to see how much case capacity is sacrificed though and how often it results in a max velocity reduction penalty. [/QUOTE]
