If your H-1000 load doesn't work that great in your 300 Win, try RL-22. I've used 75-77grs of RL-22 (max load - work up) in 8 or 9 different 300 Win mags with excellent results. It's always the Load I start with in 300 Win and usually the one I end with too........DJ

When I'm working up a new load, I don't go to the red line on my first group of loadings. But rather, I will edge up to say 90-95% of what the book sez is max. That way, if things are looking a bit hot, I'm not tempted to proceed nor do I have as many rounds to break down.

I do this too.

While it may be true that lack of excessive pressure indications means nothing, it IS true that the PRESENCE OF EXCESSIVE PRESSURE SIGNS DOES MEAN SOMETHING!
