Kilotanker piqued my curiosity about powders for the 300 PRC--especially since he mentioned it works very well with powders used in 338 LM--which I have. I have very little LRT left so I've replaced it with Ramshot Magnum, which I have much more of (it doesn't take very long to eat through even an 8lb'r keg of powder on a 338 LM diet).
I had a couple of boxes of Norma brass sitting around that I never used in preference to Lapua--but decided to break them out to try them out--actually is very fine brass, even compared to Lapua's. Here is a 285 eld sitting on my Prazi press, other than the fact that I'm missing a eld seater stem for the die, the bullets seat very well with what feels like consistent tension without my having done anything to the brass. Notice the spring-loaded ball bearing clamp for the shell-holder, just one of the precision attention to detail features--when you use one of these you'll know where that $1,000 went.
