7PRC load data

@chainsaw , I’ve got a heap of Hornady brass that I load a use for hunting . It doesn’t last as long but have found my load equally as consistent as with the ADG brass if I prep them all the same. But the ADG does give me more firings

180 ELD M
I went to 70 grains, but it was definitely over pressure considering it was a sub 10 degree day and the barrel hardly heated up after 4 shots.

Got the retumbo load as hot as 2950fps and burnt out some brass pretty quickly so scaled right back and found some good consistency at 2800fps with the 180gr eld-ms

I wouldn’t say it hammers but it is great... My 6GT is a shit tonne more consistent in speeds and group sizes (es:14 sd:5 ,10shot 1/2”moa) but I do get a fairly consistent 0.8 - 1.0 Moa for 10 shots with an ES of around 35 and SD around 10-15. After shooting it lots out at 1000y and further I decided to settle there as the wind was playing much more of a factor so focused instead on reading the wind better.

I’m about to try 2217 in my new SAUM so maybe I give that a go in cousins 7PRC as well.

Yep, it might be the combo of pills & powder I’ve tried in Hornady brass just don’t work. The load I’ve worked up in ADG brass with 168 LRABs which is very accurate I can’t duplicate in Hornady brass - even getting load to close to same muzzle velocity gives shite groups 2-3 moa. Where as the ADG brass with same pill & powder is around 0.6 - 0.7 moa. I’m trying another pill/powder combo with Hornady brass to see if that works out
