[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 1009363, member: 307"] My .300WinMag loves H1000 with the 190gn but I have moved up to the 208gn A-Max and 210gn Berger and went with Retumbo & CCI250's. I am shooting Hodgdon's listed max load (81.0C), which is compressed, and getting 3072fps with the A-Max and 3073fps with the Berger's. Both loads print sub-1/2" at 100yds and are .010 off. I shot a smallish (140lbs) 8 pt last Friday evening with the 208's. He was only 151yds away, not what any of us call Long Range, but I needed meat. At the shot he moved 2 feet, straight down. He didn't kick, wiggle or move at all afterwards. It snuffed him out. Very powerful load, especially at that distance! JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
