Thread: Practice make perfect 300prc load development

Now remember this is 8 rounds not 3, if I took a shot of the first 5 rounds it was pretty much 1 hole



So 8 rounds for .6" @ 2818fps ....that'll do very nicely

This is coming from a eldm fan boy.

Load development done and dusted in 30 rounds.....would've been 20 I I hadn't had the rail incident

That’s a keeper very nice group and speed, look out freezer packs danger is lurking.

We will see...

Got back to the range today to check zero without the magnetospeed hanging off the suppressor.
The red X is not my shot was reusing a target that already had 1 shot on it.
The blue x was my first shot and didn't feel great but it is what it is, I was struggling with heat haze and my heart beat bouncing all over the place.

Then proceeded to put 4 rounds into a nice tight group, adjusted left 1 click and up 2 clicks then smacked to 200y gong dead center called it good.
Will definitely shoot a larger sample when I load up some more ammo for a true zero and mean radius but this will do for now and leaves me with about 20 rounds loaded for hunting.

Once again I can't emphasize enough how much of a pussycat this rig is to shoot, using the free recoil technique (trigger hand only hand to touch the rifle, left hand tucked out of the way and butt pad just resting against my shoulder cup) the recoil is less than my suppressed 308win, not saying the 308 is particularly rowdy but it's definitely more snappy than the 300prc in this configuration.

Then plurry scope base screws..... How many times has this caught one of forumites out now lol... Must be getting up there.

Caught me out in the past with more than 1 rifle.....slow learner

Nice group. I have lost count of the number of times I've found ring or base screws that aren't playing with the team. Often it's been front base screws too long and bottoming out on the barrel shank before the screw head comes under tension on the base itself, so the scope is only held on by the rear base screws...
