Help with 300 win mag load with Barnes 180 gr. XBT XLC

Can someone help me with load information? I've been trying to find some data using this bullet and RL-25 but havn't had any luck. Any information would be great because my current manual does not give data for this bullet and I've heard that they can give higher than normal pressures. Thank you.

Re 25 isn't listed in Barnes #3 with that bullet. I think you'll have difficulty getting enough of it into the case to achieve max velocity anyway. Re 22 or H4831 would probably work a little better for you. Barnes lists 80 grains of each of those as max.

Start lower than that, at 75 gr. or so. 80 grains of Re 22 is indeed max in my rifle, and chronos 3130 fps out of a 24" barrel.

Thanks Norm,

Is the load data different for the boat tail version and flat base version?
