Have my first elk trip planned for this fall and currently waiting on my 300 PRC to get back from the smith. 24" Proof barrel on a Weatherby Mark V action with 3.73" box. While waiting for the rifle, I've acquired CCI 250, ADG brass, Retumbo, and H1000. For projectiles I've got 225 ELD, 205 Berger Elite Hunter, and 230 Berger Hybrid Targets. I've also worked up a half minute Retumbo/168 VLDH backup load for the 7 mag in the event that I run out of time for load development on the PRC.
Currently having an identity crisis about which bullet to roll with. Seems like there is little information out there about the 205's, and the 225 and 230 have pretty mixed reviews.
Our unit looks to be mostly shots under 300 yards, but there are a few areas I intend to look at that would have potential for 800+. Any suggestions or previous experience with any of these?
