Default Reloading 7mm PRC

I got the reloading items for 7mm prc but I don’t know which head space gauge to use for measuring head space.

Anyone here knows about it? and also if you have reloading data for it that will be great.

I am thinking to reload 175 gr LRAB with H1000

Thanks

Edit: I used factory 180 ELDM bullets in brand new gun and was able to hit gongs from 100 meters to all the way to 800 meters at Gennesee range. In my gun it was giving me average if 2891 fps instead of written on box velocity of 2975

I haven't started load development in mine yet, have been shooting 180 ELDM and 175 ELDX factory loads, shoots both of them really good. I plan to load just the 175 ELDX and try H1000, RL25, Retumbo and H4831sc as I have a good supply of those, WLRM primer in hornady brass that I am farming now from the factory loads.

Dang ELDX factory loads seem consistently accurate. I have a Bergara in 6.5 PRC, that after bedding, routinely piled 5 rounds of the factory ELDX into just a tad over 3/4”.

I read widespread report of great accuracy across the board with that bullet.

I got some information that Hornady is using RL26 on 7PRC. If you can find some RL26 they you are golden. You can open one factory bullet and find out how much powder they are using.

RL26 is like ferry dust .............. I don't think it actually exists
