208 gr A-max with RL 25 in 300 WM?

[MT Shooter]

I am looking for a recipe for this combination. If anyone has anything it would be a big help. Emailed Hornady but they never got back to me. I found good stuff for H-1000 but wanted to use RL 25 also just for comparison

I tried it once way back. Was running around 72 grains or so. I am using RL22 now. 71.6 grains RL22, Fed215M, Win case, 3.600".

Desert, what velocity are you getting with that load. I've been using ~76 grains of H1000(dont have my load data at hand, but I believe it's close to this), but also have a fair amount of RL22 I can try as well. How has the SD/ES been? Thanks

Win Case
74 gr RL25
220 gr SMK
Fed 215M

2925 fps Rem factory tube w/ barrel set back to headspace on shoulder , sub moa

26.5 moa to 1k

This is a warm winter load.

RL22 is good to run with as well, and with a 24" barrel you should be able to get close to 3000 fps.

I get 2850 with them from my 26" 30-06 and 59.5gr of RL22, you ought to be able to beat that handily.
