Yep same thing I will be loading for my 300 win mag. Figure I will find a node around that 76-77 grain mark.

I am the odd man out..... here I suspect. I like or should I say my 300 likes 7828 with the 200 to 215 grain bullets. Good old 300 has so many excellent bullet and powder combos seldom is it a ton of work to get to where you want to be.

Let us know how that works out. I'm working with 200 gr ELD-X's and Reloader 22. About have it where I want it. Running around 3050 fps.

Guys,
Thanks for your recommendations! I've worked up two loads for it now.
The first was Nosler 200gr Partitions, Nosler brass, fed mag primers, 78grs h1000
The second is Hornady 208gr ELD Match, Nosler Brad's, fed mag primers, 78grs h1000
The 200 partitions is for a specific hunt which recommended partitions. I wanted to load the ELD Match bullets because the partitions are more than twice as expensive as the ELDs and the ELDs have a much better B.C. I need to practice with it quite a bit. Part of the practice will include long range out to at least 1k. If things are going well I will definitely take it longer.
Below is a pic of the results with 78 grains of h1000 for the ELD Match 208 gr bullets. As you can see one of the four is low....that was on me. Ugh, anticipation, which is another reason for more practice. This rifle is outstanding and while I can shoot it with no ill effects to my neck so far it does have more recoil than my 6.5 CMs and I caught myself anticipating the recoil a couple of times. Gotta practice enough to get past this.

That looks great! Today will tell if I'm onto something with the ELD-X or not. Trying to do some tuning with seating depth.

I wouldnt touch it. Muzzle brake will help with recoil anticipation.
