I picked up my Browning X-Bolt in 300 PRC today. I could not find brass anywhere so I bought some factory ammo to get brass. The 225 ELD Match bullet shoots well from the factory Hornady stuff so I ordered 500 bullets from Midway and bought 5 pounds of Retumbo today locally.
For powders I have IMR 7828 SSC and Retumbo. Have any of you all here used either powder with the 225 ELD Match bullet? What velocities were you able to obtain safely? The attached photo is a three round group shot with the factory stuff. I shot 8 three round groups today. This is the best one, however the others were close behind. Biggest group was 1.1". Most average between .6-1 MOA. Factory velocity was average 2830, ES of 43 and SD of 14.8. would like to keep about this velocity and tighten up that spread.
Bullets won't be here for a few days yet so I figure I would start this thread and see what your experiences were here.
