[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1125763, member: 12193"] 76.0-78.0 of H1000 loaded to 3.600" with a Federal 215 and Norma brass. The first rifle I tried this load in is a Cooper 56 with 26" barrel and no brake. I just tried 3.600" at random, which was about .050" off the lands in this gun. First trip to the range I got a 3/8" group (100 yds) with the 76.0 grain charge. That is still my load for this gun. Later I tried this bullet and powder in a Snowy Mtn rifle which has a 26" barrel and their muzzle brake. I have never been able to make this gun shoot exceptionally well, but the load it likes best so far is 76.8 grains H1000, also loaded to 3.600". I tried other seating depths with this gun, but the 3.600" was the best. It's a consistent 5/8 moa load. This gun was not bedded however. More recently I've been working up loads for a friend's Rem 700 5R with the 24" threaded barrel. It likes 78.0 grains (1/2" groups) with the same brass and primer. Also at 3.600", and I have not tried any other length. When researching what a good load for 300WM might be (using the 208s) I found several people saying their load was 76.8 of H1000. During load development for the first 2 guns I also tried Ramshot Magnum (very similar to MagPro) and PP4000MR. Neither one grouped worth horse puckey. [/QUOTE]
