[QUOTE="waveslayer, post: 2994177, member: 46202"] It will depend on your chamber and several factors, what powder are you planning on using? I can give you some of my loads, but it will have to be worked up... Don't want you to blow anything up or get you to ruin lots of expensive brass. Here are my loads: all 300 Grain bullets with Norma Brass and Federal 215's primers. Seated using Hornady guages from Ogive is 2.853" OAL 3.603": Retumbo = 87.5 grains using once fired brass LRT= 95.3 grains with new Brass that is not fire formed 3.617" OAL LRT= 96.2 grains for once fired brass 3.617 OAL Both powders are sub MOA all day long. test in cold and hot weather. I prefer Retumbo, but it's hard to find at times, hence the LRT load. I using both these loads out of two different systems I use a lot, DT and MRAD. I Hydro Form my brass, and will load up the LRT load that shoots sub moa with standard 338 Norma that hasn't been fired formed yet. Then I get to enjoy shooting and fire form some AI brass. So I can run either load, the zero is minimal that I just dial to compensate for [/QUOTE]
