i have a 300 winchester factory 700 magnum.

I'd use H1000 or Retumbo if you have any or can locate it. Not the fastest but the most stable and should get you near or just over 2900 fps from a 26 inch barrel.

From what I've read, 73-76 grains of H1000 seems to be the sweet spot for the winny. I'd start below that and run a ladder test looking for pressure.
