Anyone use this combination? I've found a little info, but all seemed dated. Looking to get 2900 fps.
300 WSM RL-17 & 208 A-Max

Have used:
Norma new brass
208 AMAX
64 Gr RL17
Fed215M
Got average 2976 FPS with ES=19 and SD=6 across 2 three shot groups. First group was .385. second was .455 MOA at 100 yards.
Barrel was a Mcgowen 26 inch
Suggest starting at 61 Gr and working up.

Thanks, I'll try it out. That is awesome speed even with a 26". I shoot a 700 with a 24" in a Manners stock, but I'm having a 26" built on a Xtreme Ti action with a carbon wrapped Satern barrel.
