| Allaints web site list the loads you want. I'm guessing it will be a little slow for 165's but fine for the 180's and up. |

I tried it and it did so/so. I agree with Rogue 6 that you are going to find it sort of too slow to get good velocity out of a 165 grain. I would consider it even borderline on the 180s.
I'd drop to RL 19 before going to RL 25.
RL 25 or H1000 in a 300 Win Mag, with a 220 grain, gave me a very accurate screaming machine. I used a load I saw in an older Loading manual but it did fine! Velocity with the 220 was at 2975. I couldn't get it to break 3,000 fps, but hey, what little difference would that make. It sure made a 'clang' that everyone on the shooting line noticed when it hit the 300 yd gong.
Load was 83 grains of H 1000 and a Federal Large Rifle primer. ( not a mag primer.) I also used 83 to 85 grains of RL 25 with that. ( can't rremember exactly as I don't shoot the 300 mag that often.) Work up though, ( oh you are from BC) EH?
Cheers and Good shooting seafire |

| Bob Hagel's favorite load in a .300 Win Mag was 78.5 grains of H4831 with a Federal 210 primer and a 180 grain Nosler Partition (3150 fps from 24 inch barrel). I have found this to be a great load (less than 1/2 MOA) using Nosler balistic tips for targets and varmits. I like to 180 grain Swift Scirocco for Whitetails and black bears. I think it would work fine for elk and moose too. Work your loads up as I found this load to show presure signs on a friends rifle before reaching the aformentioned loads. Good luck Longshot |
