Thanks for sharing your video. I too had a hard time finding brass, magnum powder, primers and load data. I really appreciate your sharing that load too. This 300prc is new and everything is hard to find.
Bought a b14 hmr in 6.5 creedmoor in may. Dad shot it fell in love so I just bought him a b14 hmr in 300 prc.
Great guns
Great content dude. Your humility will only make you better. Keep burning powder my dude!
Great video, thank you for sharing your data and your recipe! Keep us posted on your journey with this rifle would ya? I’d watch.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
I will be posting on this rifle and another load I have tuned up relatively soon. Sub 1/2 MOA groups with the 200gr ELD-X are up next…
Keep your powder dry.

ADG has some very heavy duty brass thats at the thickest per specs. Expensive but will last a long time. They not that due to its thickness, the case volume is lower than most hence increasing pressures with lower powder loads. That is one nice gun.
I have the same hmr b14, I was looking at LRT for my 300 PRC, it's nice to see you got some really good results with the LRT powder
LRT is a great powder for the 300 PRC. It works best with the 200gr and higher projectiles and takes full advantage of 24” and 26” barrels.
My 200gr ELD-X load uses 87.7gr of LRT and pushes it at about 3,100 FPS average. I am getting .255-.450 MOA 3-shot groups with it.
I need to do final accuracy testing on my 225gr ELD-M loads, which I dropped to 87gr even of LRT to tune in the rifle and velocities are at the 2,950 mark.
Word to the wise if you do not know already and might be struggling to get consistent groupings, make sure you remove the paint from the aluminum bedding blocks in the stock. For some reason, Bergara is not taping these over and just spraying them. Once I cleaned mine up, it dropped group sizes in half right away.
I topped mine with a arken sh4 heavy but very effective scope but affordable if you want to dip your toes in elr shooting.
Good shooting good Sir , I have the same rifle brand and model but in 308 with the same scope, I’m not kidding, it shoots like no bodies business. It took me a while to get familiar with it but I got used it already. I’ve shot wild pigs 🐖 from 100 to 420 yard distance I’ve only missed about three times but my fault, . Keep your videos coming sir ,, hello from TEXAS
I own one as well but had issues. Not hating I think I'll explain. The stock was over sprayed on the pillar bedding and I was getting 3 inch groups. Sand the paint off easy fix.
Great video. I think this is going to be my next setup, or something a little bit lighter for hunting. How much does each bullet come out to be for your reload (using the same or new brass)?
I can’t find new brass right now, so I am using factory Hornady brass from their 212gr Precision Hunter load. I am about 4-7 reloads on each piece and have only had to trim the necks once. Right now I am able to get powder and bullets, but not primers, so I’m working off of a good stash of CCI 250 MLR primers. Most quality bullets are costing about $0.40 to $0.60 each right now, so while it’s averaging $3.25 for factory loads, I am able to get my loads down to a cost of $1.35 to $1.55 per round when averaging 7 loads per piece of brass.
@@AmericanArmsChannel That makes 300 PRC so worth it... Only downside would be the barrel life :D
@@AmericanArmsChannel Def make more videos with that cartridge pal
@@hakuuna_matata I am planning on it!
Let’s have a shoot off!!!!
I have a custom 300 PRC SaKO WITH A NO TURN NECK. tHANKS FOR TURNING ME ON TO lrt POWDER.
Do these use a CIP length magazine?
Or what is the max COAL you can use in the magazine that comes with this gun?
Thanks!
The Bergara B-14 HMR’s with magnum length actions are sent out from the factory with an AICS 300 WM 3.850” mag. You can seat to Maximum OAL’s of about 3.750-3.755”
I have both the Accurate Mag branded magazine that came with the rifle and an MDT mag and both work well. Do be sure that you buy the 3.850” version though as the shorter variants will not work with the bottom metal.
@@AmericanArmsChannel
Thanks for the quick reply, I've been trying to find the answer online with no success, I wanted to get one ordered by EOD, so I sincerely appreciate the info.
Awesome video and explanation of your use and setup - Very well thought out!
Take care!
My bergara hmr on 308 bull barrel shoots 0.1 mils at 100 meters all day with hornary eld match ammo .
My rifle came from spain shoots like madda fucker lol .
With that rifle and and 300 prc for target shooting man you need to have a ballistic apps get some bullets speed and get it built your on drop competation for that particular round and go from there you will be on better shape that way no guessing .
1000 meters shots will be easier make a custom torret that way you know it will hit the target everitime take care .
That rifle is to nice to be guessing
I went to a different loading not long after this video for greater consistency and accuracy than the 225gr ELD-M was offering me out of my rifle. I had relatively accurate ballistic data, but it was not holding true at lower magnifications than the scope was zeroed for (it is a Second focal plane optic and does not track true on any magnification other than what it was zeroed on).
I am considering replacing the optic with a First Focal Plane optic that will be more conducive to shooting past 400 yards.
Thanks for watching and the comment.
