300 Winchester 200 eldx quickload help

[Highvoltage]

I've going to give this a shot this season. I've done a good bit of research on this combination and it seems like h1000 is the ticket. Everyone knows the issue there. I have 3 powders available retumbo, RL23 and magpro. I wanted to see if someone could run a quickload and let me know the min and max there? Thanks in advance here!

300 Winchester
Hornady brass
24" barrel
3.6" oal 200 eldx

 

[Old Rooster]

In the tenth edition Hornady reloading manual it gives
Reloader 23-start 62.2 - max 72.1 gr.
No listing for Retumbo or Magpro in this manual
Hope this helps

2nd number is % fill
3rd number is grains of powder
4th number is velocity fps
6th number is psi

Hope this helps. Didn't copy/paste perfect but it is discernable.

I can't thank you enough! Best wishes and Happy New Year!

The 200 grain ELDX shoot excellent.
If you shoot anything closer than 250yds make sure you shoot behind the shoulder do not hit any big bones.
Here are some pics of a 247 yd shot on a 7x7 whitetail broadside.
At the shot he took off running towards me for 60 yds then jumped into a cedar belt. I knew he was not ok as he was just loping not running. We found him piled up under the cedars where he landed from the jump.
It literally exploded on the ribs complete separation of core and jacket. Found the Jacket empty against the offside ribes.
Not what I was excepting on a 250lb deer. Last year I shot a big 4x4 at 417yds awesome performance complete pass thru dead in 4 steps.
So my new rule is closer than 350yds behind the shoulder 350 and beyond even a shoulder shot should be good.
I have picked up 400 200 grain Accubonds that I will work on this coming year to see if they shoot and track as good as the ELDX;s

That's sound advice, where I elk hunt there's not much opportunity under 300 yds because of the oak brush. I've always used Barnes but they get blown around pretty well around 600 yds. What powder you running or were those factory?
