I remember shooting the 250's in factory loads for the 300 Winny back around 1980, or so. This was right before I started reloading.

I believe my Hodgdon #25 has data for it, but with H powder only. I'll pull it off my shelves when I get home.

From Hodgdon Manual 25th Ed. - 300 Win Mag, 26" bbl., 250 gr bullet:

66.0 gr H4831 2,445 fps (start)
69.0 gr H4831 2,570 fps (max)

78.0 gr H870 2,490 fps (start)
81.0 gr H870 2,655 fps (max)

61.0 gr H4350 2,320 fps (start)
64.0 gr H4350 2,460 fps (max)

This manual also has data for the 250 gr bullet for .30-06, 300 H+H and 300 Wby for those who may be interested.
