We were just outside of the viewing path. It got eerily dark, so I took a nap. :sleep:

I'm jealous! It looks like you had a great time!

That sounds like a good idea.

You should still try H1000. It's a great powder for the 7 PRC. You have more barrel than me, and that makes a notable difference.

Well, if only I could make a fart noise. I ran 66 to 69gr H1000 and got to 3030fps and a nasty group. Wah wah. That doesn't mean it won't work well in a different gun.

Will do

I looked at my powder stock, and only have 1# of RL25. I have a bunch of H1000 though. I will try that instead. Hornady load data gets max velocity right along RL26 with their 160gr CX, so that may work out better for a long term solution. Tomorrow the last 4 Hammers will fly!

Buy powder when it's available. Don't be like me! I have appropriate powders for all of my rifles, but the new 7 PRC requires something else, apparently. Powder is only going to get scarcer and more expensive. The price jump just this year was significant. I have a few good 87-95gr loads for...

That's awefully nice of you! I'll pm you. I'll send you a local gift (not commorant poop). :ROFLMAO:

I had some spreads and some nice groups today. The two deeper-seated groups I ran today were 1 moa and 2.5 moa. It seems my rifle likes 55-65 though off the lands, irrespective of the powder so far.

That new barrel should speed up a bit after a few dozen rounds. Then you can finesse the seating depths and tighten up the groups. I'm down to 3 bullets. I tried a bunch of depths, but hit the 3060fps wall with all the powders I have. I do have some RL25 left, so I may try that tomorrow with...

Holy smokes! That's pretty zippy and accurate! I'd say your goals were met. What primers? I managed to get a brick of Rem 9 1/2M, which have the mildest brisance of the mag primers, and I'm going to try them.

My CED M2 has worked fine for over 10 years. I bought it on eBay for cheap. I like the portability of the Garmin, but for me, I'd rather spend money on bullets, powder and pork belly!

I dropped my bull elk at 720yds AMR last November with the 7PRC with pushing a 175gr @2910fps muzzle velocity. Impact velocity was still above 2000fps. DRT. Getting another 150-200fps with a Hammer 162 would be satisfying for me.

My birthday is coming up.....

Me too. I have the infrared set for the CED M2 chrony, but I don't want to chance breaking that. I'll wait until it calms down.

I made two loaves of fresh garlic and rosemary ciabatta bread yesterday.

The target. One straggler. It was gusty though.

OK now. This afternoon's ladder test featured Hogdon 4831sc. Temperature was 50 degrees, with a 10mph wind from 3 o'clock with gusts to 20. I used 2x-fired Hornady brass again, and seated the projectiles 73 thou off the lands for a COAL of 3.2790". 63gr - 2923 fps 63.5 - 2905 64 - 2906...
