300 PRC & Magnum powder?

[SwampGunner]

I'm starting to load for my Bergara 300 PRC. Berger 230 gr Hybrid Target bullets and ADG brass. I have R26 and Ramshot Magnum. I can find load data for R26, but not Magnum for 230 gr bullets. Am I wasting my time with Magnum ?
What's your favorite powder for 230 gr. bullets in the 300 PRC?

H1000, Retumbo, VV568 and 7977 all worked great for me. 250gn Atips = US869

I've had good luck with N570. Settled on 3050fps with the 230 berger in the 300prc. This with a Bat M action. Personally, I would settle for a lower node with a factory action. Probably around 2950.

300 PRC load data

If max O.A.L of 3.7 is your goal and having the .215 range of freebore then I would say 30 Nosler, I like the 30-28 because you dont have to run it as hard to get the 3070-3100 node with the 215 but you will probably be just over 3.7 or right on it. But they both will do it.

My go-to in the 300 PRC has been H1000. Its not as fast as N568 or N570 but isn't too far behind and its been very consistent. Good enough that I haven't tried anything else in the half-dozen I have done load development for.

Not as big as sample as FeMan, but both my barrels have done well with H-1000.
I've tried about few others and it works well.
