7PRC - Peterson brass

[Ed3645]

Getting ready to load for a new elk rifle. Looking at 175 eld-x with Peterson brass. Anyone have a load that is working well? Seekins M3 Element rifle.

Buddy was zeroing in on pretty good loads using 175eldx/Peterson with 66.2gr H1000 and 63.1gr of H4831SC. He's not done yet though...

 

[Ed3645]

Thank you, I have some H1000 and will give it a try.

I have also had good luck with H1000 in my 7prc. I am running 162gr Hammer HHT with 68.8 gr of H1000 and ADG brass. 5 shot groups are just under .5 moa.

 

[Ed3645]

I will take a look at the HHT. After a bunch of reading it looked like the Fed Terminal Ascent is a good elk bullet, and then realized I couldn’t buy it as a component.

 

[Rky Mtn Farmer]

I have had good luck with the HHT bullets so far. I took a buck antelope, a bull elk and a buck mule deer this year with the load I mentioned before and none of them made it more than a few yards.

 

[Ed3645]

Hard to argue with success. Do you have an idea what FPS you're getting?

 

[Rky Mtn Farmer]

Yep, averaging 3088 fps out of a 24” barrel

 

[Ed3645]

That's great, thank you for the info.

My load out of a 22" x caliber barrel. 175 eldx, 68 grains of h1000, stacks 5 rounds under .5 moa, velocity 2910. Adg brass and lrm primers.

I appreciate all the responses, there is definitely a theme here which will get me much closer to a good starting point.
