[QUOTE="Broz, post: 653513, member: 7503"] I would recommend you start below the 90 gr with the new lots of H-1000. They are running 3 grains hotter than the older lots. Work up slowly 1/2 gr at a time. I would start with the 300 OTM's seated about -.030 ~ -.040" off the lands till you find the charge it likes. Then maybe fine tune a little with seating depth. I have found the 300 Bergers shoot well from on the lands to .060 off or more. So just as well back em off to start to lower the pressure. Make no miskake, anything above 92 gr of H-1000 even with the older lots is a plenty stout load. Some rifles will never get there with out killing brass. I have seen plenty that was done at 91 gr. I have never had one go to 94 gr and the ones at 92.5 to 93 were two or three firings and toss the brass with with the rifles I was working with. Jeff [/QUOTE]
