Budweiser300 Saum
Anyone have a load development for this calibre?
Has anyone tried the new powder from Hodgdons called Superformance?
I have shot a bunch of loads in two 300 saum's. I have not used the new Hodgdon powder. I have used Varget, H414, IMR4350, hunter, 4007 and Reloader 17. Had good luck with all of them. I have loaded 150, 165 and 180 gr. bullets. What are you looking for?

DrWatson69I have not tried the superformance. I shoot a M700P LTR in 300saum. I tried Varget but got bolt hard to open before reaching book Max. loads in my gun. I load 57.5grs. of RL-15 with fed 210match primer, 150gr Accubonds or 150gr. Hornady BTSP. Out of the 20in. barrel I get just over 3000fps. 10 ft from muzzle.
I have read where Magpro was developed for the short mags but have not tried it.

BudweiserAny loads of 150,165,180 would be great.
Thanks for the replies.
Here are some that work in my Model 7
150 gr. Hornady Interbond 60 gr. varget..Max in my rifle. 165 gr. TSX 64.5 gr. R-17 Chrono'ed at 3118 fps also worked well with 165 gr. spbt. Also max in my guns. I also do 150 TSX with 65 gr. R-17. With 180 rem pspcl I use either 61 gr. Hunter or 58 gr. 4007... Again all loads are at or near max so work up...
PS. all loads shot under 1" at 100 yards
