[QUOTE="Jcook02, post: 2969098, member: 113022"] With my 300 RUM and N570, I started at 86.0 grains and worked up to 91.0 grains. My first node was at 87.5 and upper was 90.5. This was using the 230 Berger OTM's though. Talking with Huntnful, with the 225's, I'm sure I'll be just a little less powder usage as the 225 has a longer bearing surface. Keep in mind my COAL was 3.836" with this being .010 off the lands. With my 26" the 230's were running 2955 with N570. With H1000, I was running the 230's at 2806 with 85.5 grains. I'd be more than happy if I can push the 225's at 2850-2900 for elk. I will be using the 225's next year for sure. I'm very happy with the 162's from a 7Mag that is being lite-loaded for my daughter this year. Exactly what I was looking for. N570 if you want more horsepower but it comes at a cost as it is super dirty and the barrel gets hot, quick. H1000 has been great to work with and is much cleaner, but FPS suffers. I've killed a lot of deer and several elk with the H1000 load though. Good luck and let us know how things turn out! JC [/QUOTE]
