Been playing with my 7PRC trying to find a load that I’m happy with. In the pics it’s not a fair comparison. The H1000 loads were five round groups at 300yds and the Retumbo loads were three round groups at 200yds. Would love to see what others are having success with.

Tikka action
22” Proof prefit
180gr Hybrid
ADG brass
215 primers
2.625” CBTO (longest I can go without single feeding)

I prefer h1000 to retumbo. has always shown lower SD for me. I'm shooting same setup but 180 VLD which requires jam
