.300 win mag load data

With the 208s try 76.0-78.0 grains of H1000 at 3.600". This combo gives me 1/2 moa or better in 3 different rifles.
 
I'm running the 208gn ELD-M ahead of Hornady brass, 77.0gn RL26 and CCI BR2's. I'm liking this for my "newer" LR load but only time will tell. Waiting for it to dry up so I can get to my LR range. Looks like it might be springtime or I'll have to shoot from the "ark". Ran 81gn of Retumbo last year and it served me well with velocity averaging about the same but used the 208gn A-Max.

What are the specs on your gun? What kind of chrono are you using? That's smokin' fast for a 208 gr bullet. 180 gr Accubonds out of my Win Mag were moving along at 3126 fps MV.
