300 rum ocw

[AaronVan]

I know this has probrably been gone over before so im sorry. I am looking for a OCW for a 300 rum loaded with a 210 gr berger VLD. Thanks again and good shooting for all.

It varies greatly I wouldn't just take someone's load and assume it's the ocw for your gun good powders for that bullet seem to be h1000 and retumbo. Start conservative and build up presure in your gun will be different. Some of the loads I have seen here vary greatly before showing presure some low some high no way to know which yours is without building up

Retumbo and H100 are going to be your go-to powders in the 88 to 94grain range. Here's a good place for reloading data...

Personally, I use 91grains of Retumbo lit by Fed215M primer shooting 208grain Amax.
