[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 1228634, member: 27751"] I'm shooting a Savage Bear Hunter in 300wsm with the 208 amax. I tried several powders and got around 2650 fps. Re-17 gave a little better speed but not accuracy. I settled on 4831sc and am getting 2700 fps. I have a friend with the same rifle and he is shooting a 208 amax at just over 2700 fps with H1000. I wouldn't get too hung up on speed and just load for accuracy. With a 200 gr bullet you still have plenty of power for hunting at longer ranges. Most people I know getting awesome velocities in a 300wsm with a 200+ grain bullet have a custom barrel with a longer throat. [/QUOTE]
