6 PRC reloading

[brockel]

Dayum good shooting! Just ordered some H1000 going to try to work up a load for that with Hornadys 110 A tip, any thought on those?

Have never shot any A tips

Be a sweet bullet but they reportedly have pretty erratic terminal performance. Also, high RPMs, hot barrels, and rough barrels can be a problem for hornady jackets staying together.

My barrel does not like N565 with the 115 DTAC. Fiddled with it long enough.

Loaded a handful of rounds with Retumbo and the 115 Dtac, .050 off the lands. 58.0 Grains showed serious promise, have more loaded to shoot a 10 shot group to confirm. Initial loading was 3,075 fps, so ~100fps slower than the N565 load I was dinking with.
Fine with me and my effective range, still looks to carry 1800fps beyond 900 yards at 150' ASL.

Anyone have Retumbo in stock? Would like another few pounds.

I don’t think I have actually. Maybe I’ll make a YouTube video and just post it

Did you ever make a video? I’m a novice reloader and would love a video of start to finish necking down/sizing, mandrel, etc.

I haven’t dude. Maybe after hunting season when I’m just bored and tinkering with rifles and shit I think.

Personal loads with the 108 ELDM's and CCI 200's

54gr. 4831 SC
57gr. H1000
61gr. N570

Adjust accordingly for your powder burn rates and bullet weights.

Yeah. I want to get a firing on all my brass, and get 100 rounds or so down the barrel to get it sped up, then I can make a true judgement between powders. I have N565 and Grand, and I think some 4831SC. I know 4831 won’t give as much velocity, but it’s typically accurate. I also have some StaBall HD if that’s even worth playing with

@huntnful @Schmo do either of you have a MV for H4831SC? Curious how that performs vs H1000.

I don’t, but I’ll probably try some when I get back to load dev. I bought property in March, and have been in a building project since, that has taken all my extra time, and time that I didn’t really have! Fortunately, that project is coming to a close here soon, and I’ll be getting the loading bench setup quickly, as I’m itching to load and shoot again.

Underwhelming in mine, reached pressure earlier and was slower than H1000. 3170, 109 eldm, 22” ace, 61gr

What load did you land on?

 

[JBahr]

56gr H1000 gets me 3190 with a low es and sd. No pressure, 1/2 MOA. I hit pressure at 3390 59 gr. Groups were over 1.5 MOA with anything over 3220.
