[QUOTE="Brent, post: 27056, member: 99"] My dad's getting 3270 ave. at max load (65-67k psi on the Oehler 43) with a 180 Ballistic Silvertip or the 178 A-Max in his 27" bbl'd 300wsm, both were the same psi and velocity. That was with 73gr of RL19. OAL was 2.945" though. The same load with 70gr RL19 was 3170 ave. at 57-58k psi with both bullets again. We took it to 76gr RL19 with the 168 SMK at 3360 and psi was 63k, we never shot them anymore but I imagine they would have topped out at 3400... 3450 if you wanted to push em a bit, maybe to 67-68k psi. RL19 was the only powder he's tried so far, no reason to switch either, it shoots beautifully. You're Rem short mag may hold slightly less powder and OAL may be shorter, unless you single feed them, so start low and work up. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Yours is basically the same round, so I'd expect it might be 100 fps slower due to a shorter bbl and slightly less case capacity but, it's a smokin round though! 700yds should be a breeze! I like the 180's though. The 200 Accubond will be way cool too. I'm sure 3000-3100 will be easy, and with it's BC [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
