Anyone have experience reloading this bullet? I'm interested in using it in my 300 prc. How did it perform? What powder/primer/brass combo were you using?

This thread didn’t last long. I am currently working on load development for 190 LRX. I shoot a custom built 300 PRC. This was my best group so far, 79 grains H1000 3096, 3074 and 3071. I started at 2 thousands off the lands. I am working on speeds then move to seating depth. Still need to go from 80 grains to 83.5 and see if I hit any pressure.

I did a load for the 212 bore rider. 79.0 gr of H-1000 with a OAL of 3.950” (single load only) and a velocity of 2904 fps and shot a 3 shot 100 yard group of 1” with the same point of impact as my 208 ELD-M load. It met my parameters and I loaded a few to have on hand. I shot 3 rounds at a 1” thick mild steel plat, leaving a 1/3” deep crater (3) that a dime fits in,
