[QUOTE="Hard Head, post: 2434984, member: 91079"] I just bought Bergara's .300 Win Mag with a 26" barrel and the Self timing Muzzle break, the only powder I could find locally was RamShot LRT with 215 Fed Mag Match primers and Hornady's 220 ELD Found some data for the win with Berger 230's and used it for the 220's started at 83 grs of LRT and worked up to 88 grs. acc. was so so about a 1" to 1 1/2" at 100, but velocity was 2925 to 3025, pressure was nonexistent as you could lift the bolt with your finger and extraction was as if it was a empty chamber, they were all seated against the lands, will go out again later this week with progressively deeper seating to see what happens ,it has been cold here around 8 degrees when I was out, Pete [/QUOTE]
