300 ultra mag reloading info.

[box creek]

Getting ready to load for my 300 ultra. I drew a Utah early rifle Elk tag and would like to develop a load for my rifle and this hunt. I have only used factory ammo with this gun with good results, but the ammo I used is no longer available. I Have reloaded for smaller calibers.

Looking for a starting point

I have the following components

Rifle: Remington std 700 SSL 26 inch

Remington brass

Powder: H1000 (starting weight) do I ± my powder weight by .5g 88.0, 88.5, 89.0, 89.5, ............300 has lots of powder.

Bullet: Hornady ELD X 200 gr. does the ELDX have a sweet spot ( seating depth ) I have heard the ELDX is pretty forgiving. I am limited to C.O.A.L. by my STD mag.

I know every gun is different to reload for, but I'm looking for a starting point from somebody that has more experience me.

Thanks
