.300 Win Mag load data

[Sergeant Stadanko]

Anyone have any load data for .300 Win Mag using 208 grain ELD-M bullets and Ramshot Magnum powder?
I have been using Hunter very successfully and came into some Magnum powder, but not having any luck finding load data for that combo.
Thank you in advance.

What is your COAL?

So far, I have been using SAAMI COAL.

Hodgdon has data for Magnum with the 210 VLD from berger. Should be pretty comparable to what you'll need for the 208 ELD-M.

Copy, thank you.

QL agrees with that. Usable case capacity differs by less than a 0.100. So virtually the same.

of course standard load development rules apply.

Enjoy.

Have been shooting the 300 WM for a Number of years. Never found a need to shoot anything heaver than the 180 gr SPBT. Everything I've shoot has (thank you Lord) went down right there! Have taken Elk out Aprox 800 yds, 1 shot, down!
And the Military has placed the 300 WM up against the 338 Lupa mag. No read difference out to Aprox 1200 yds between the two.
H-1000 @ 79.5 gr, LRM Primers, 180 gr SPBT! Seems that even using Mixed Brass doesn't make (much) difference, for me! Hunting, not really paper punching target shooting! This has always been a min of kill, not MOA!
