Anyone using RL19 in a 300WM with 165/168 grain bullets? I would be interested in hearing about your load data if so. This is the best powder/bullet combo I have found so far as grouping goes at 100 in my rifle.

I have also had good luck with 19 in my 300 wm. I am not in my shop, but I think I loaded 74.5, and a215 fed. Bullet was a168 TSX.I was just getting the kinks out when I tried that load, and will re- visit it in the fall before hunting season. Did not chrono at that time, so speed is unknown. I do remember however, that the groups were exceptional. Really not surprised, RL19 is a excellent powder, and burn rate is near perfect.

I've used it with 150's in the 300 win and it tops around 76 with a nos e-tip. The other poster saying around 74.5 is right in line with the Alliant '05 reloader's guide handout. I use 78 of rl22 in my 300 win with 165 hornady fb bullets.
 
my go to load in one of my 300 win mags is a 165 bt and 73 grains of 19. Ive killed a truck load of whitetails with that load in that gun.
