Re: 208 AMAX 300rum?
I'm in the same boat. I've been shooting the 200gr Accubonds, but they are a little expensive for shooting rocks. Theres six boxes of 208's on my bench waiting to get loaded. I am using 95gr Retumbo with a CCI250 with the Accubonds. I think I would start with about 92gr and work up.

Re: 208 AMAX 300rum?
You can use 220 SMK data and work up. I used to use that when there was no data for the 210 VLD in my 300WM. I also used to look at the 200grn data and the 220grn data and work out the basic average. It worked too. When i switched to the 208 AMAX I just used the 210 VLD data and it worked great.
Hopefully someone can give you some more specific data though.

My barrel is a 30" rockcreek 1/10 5r.. not sure on the speed yet, just got it 2 days ago and i'm trying to get some load data for the 208's..
i was getting mid 3s with 210 bergers and RL25 out of my 300rum sako!
if i can hit 3100 with the 208's and Retumbo in the 30" tube i'll be happy

I would think you could get 3200+ fps, I shot the same bullets out of a 26" barreled 300 Weatherby and could get 3000 fps.
