To start off my rifle is:
Christensen arms ba tactical 300prc 26"
Dead air sandman s suppresor
Nightforce nx8 4-32x50 f2 mil
Vortex pmr rings
Mdt bipod
All shooting is off bipod and Armageddon gear bag on a table.
I have loaded for it with Ramshot Magnum with 78.5 gr and average of 2880 fps and .5 groups with 220 eld-x. I'm happy with it but I like to tinker and picked up some N568.
This load development is with Hornaday match Dies, Hornaday brass, CCI 250 primer, N568, and .20 off the lands with 212 eld-x. I started my ladder at 78gr and ended at 82.5 with no major pressure just light ejector marks. When I got higher in the charge weight around 81.5 and up they seemed to stack up closer in groups. I think I could go higher but I'm already past max which is 81.2 per Vihtavuori published data. Not the fastest but seems very accurate so far. I know my target isn't the greatest but it was just sitting there and it doesn't need to be official. There isn't alot out there on the N568 for the 300 prc so I thought I would throw this out there. Where do you you guys think that I should start on the ladder or should I push on up a couple of grains for more fps to see?

I have had pretty good luck with N570 on my 300PRC @ 85.5 shooting around 3090 FPS that's where I found my best accuracy. I tried H1000 to no avail.
