[QUOTE="eric2381, post: 272546, member: 16051"] I've been experimenting with the 200gr. AB, RL25, Fed. 215, Norma brass. The results have have been pretty good, but not spectacular. I made up test loads ranging from 74gr. to 78gr. . 75gr. shot the best at 3/4" and the rest were right around 1 1/4". Velocity went from 2600 for 74gr. and 2770 for 78gr. No pressure signs were evident, even at the very top with 78 gr. I'm gonna try a few more with higher powder charges. I almost wonder if RL25 is a little on the slow side for the 300 Win Mag. The rifle shoots consistently with it, but I feel I could get a bit more velocity with RL22. But, I'm not going to cry over 100 fps. Hopefully I can get it to group tighter yet with heavier charges. I need to go out to my garage now to finish building the steel gongs I've been working on so I can practice farther than 300 yds. Eric [/QUOTE]
