Couple weeks away of my 7prc being finished. I have chosen the Barnes 168gr LRX bullet. Bought 3 boxes of factory Hornady for the brass. Will be using Remington Magnum primers. I have plenty of Rl-17 I would love to work but not sure it will. Powders on hand is Vhit 565 and 555, 4831SC, and 4350. Dont mind buying powder if I can find it. No RL26 or H1000 found near me. Lookinf for tested loads. Thanks in advance.
Powder for 7PRC and load data
- Thread starter Stoner
- Start date
20" BBL suppressed, ADG, Fed 215, H1000, Berger 175 EOL,
68-70 gr I am at 2900fps. Found nodes every where so i will keep going until pressure.
I have acces to tons of 4831, but it's performance level is not in my scope. I have 565 and thought about trying but grabbed the H1000 first and it likes this pow, as stated nodes every where, and under moa groups during ladder tests.

Of the powders you have on hand N565 would be my first choice to start with.

ADG is on the way. My experience with ANY Hornady brass is two shots and done.
Finally, was able to pick up my new 7 PRC rifle. Target it 5 shots Factory Hornady 175gr ELDX.
Rifle Specs:
Trued Stainless 700 action, bolt machined for sako extractor, Bartlein Rem Varmint SS contour barrel, 1-8 twist, crowned at 24 inches, threaded 5/8-24, 0.250" SS tapered recoil lug, Fat Bastard muzzle brake, Timney Elite hunter trigger set at 3 lbs, Stock was a Mesa Precision Altitude carbon fiber pillar bedded to the action. All metal was finished in Magpul FDE Cerakote. The group shot with the rifle was with Hornady 175 ELD-X ammo. the high shot was his sighter, last 4 into the small group cluster. I'd say she turned out very nice.
