I just got a bunch of 300 grain lapua and 300 grain serria bullets .I usually use reloaded 25'.Its been 15 years ago when I loaded any 300 grain bullets for my 338-378 Weatherby .I use 109 grains for my 250 grain nosler partitions .I think I used 98 or 100 grains of r25 for the 300 grain .I also have a bunch of wc867 powder that I bought to use in this gun .Its a accumark Weatherby with factory barrel .I hope one day to build a 30 inch barreled accumark to get more out if tho cartridge.
 
im currently shooting 300 grain bergers out of my weatherby.
using hodgdon h50bmg. start at 109gr and work up to 114.5 coal 3.96
my bullets are a little long to fit in the belly so it only works as a single shot for me but i am sure you would be able to shorten the overall length up enough to fit it in.
also try using a couple different primers to get the best shot. i would have to take a look i believe i am using the federal 215h primers
 
I bought a bunch of wc867 powder to use in my 264 and my 338-378 .Its so temperature variable I am.almost afraid to use it in my 338-378 .It does ok in.my 264 but can't shoot it above 80 degrees without pressure .I.need to try some of y h870 in it just know its a dirty powder .I have powder fouling with r25 .I have to totally clean my barrel every 50 shots or it shoots like a shotgun.I have shot under an inch at 300 yards with r25 and 250 grain nosler partitions.
