[QUOTE="Broz, post: 896067, member: 7503"] The 215 is a Hybrid O give not a VLD. We have loaded them for about 8 or 10 300 wins so far and all with H-1000. When using RP, WW, Graf, Lapua or Norma brass start with 74 gr of H-1000 working up toward 77 most are at max at 77 gr some will go 78 depending on the rifle and powder lot. If using RWS brass with a smaller case volume start at 72 gr and expect to see max at 75 or 76 gr. I usually start with the bullets seated at -.040" off the lands. This has worked in several rifles but if not adjust to tune the load from there in or out. At first I use .030" steps to get close and fine tune from there. These loads, at max psi will be in the 2900 to 3000 fps range with 26 to 28" barrels. The factory advertised BC off the box has always worked for us out to a mile. I am sure H4831 will work also but I have no first hand load data for it. I think with the heavier bullets in a 300 win case H-1000 is hard to beat. Jeff [/QUOTE]
