just purchased a savage 10fcp h&s precision in 300 win mag and ive done soem research but having a hard time deciding on powder and bullet weight. i saw where fgmm is 190gr. is this kinda standard load like 168 for 308? as far as powder i was looking on hodgdon and seems like imr 4350 seems to give good velocity but what i read seems more people like 4831 and rl22 i belive. thanks guys

Re: 300 win mag load
I don't use a 190 but for 168, I use H4831, so good, I would be foolish to mess with anything else. But, the other two you mention would be good choices, worth trying for sure. BB

Re: 300 win mag load
Nope, I wouldn't even mention my H4831 load, as it's almost four grains over max, depending on who's data you look at. By the way, I think it is preferable to always use the prefix "H" or "IMR" when discussing that particular extruded powder, even sc, for whichI never saw the need, although my load is very slightly compressed? I have another 243 based variation and the "max" load of IMR is about 3½ grains less than the H max load, which produces higher velocity so that's the one I use. BB

Re: 300 win mag load
i guess i should add they will be in winchester brass. savage 10fcp 1:10 twist.
pretty much got it down to h1000 powder. i may try some 4831 after i find a good one with the h1000 as it seems to be preferred. seems around 78 grains is what most people running. any input is greatly appreciated. anyone have any fgmm clones for the 300 win mag? it kinda what im goin for i guess

Re: 300 win mag load
I'm pretty new to the 300 WM world, but it looked to me like 180 grain bullet was a good choice.

what bullet weight u running with that?
thanks ilocansniper!! so most of the time 76-78 gr of h1000 is what looks like a good starting point

Re: 300 win mag load
I am going to try working up some 210 SMKs with H1000 for my Sendero... I don't know if I will be able to get up to 76 - 78 gr.
Winchester Brass... but even then

Re: 300 win mag load

Re: 300 win mag load
Started 5 percent below max and went up a half a grain at a time

Re: 300 win mag load
For a good deer load, I had great results with 168 TTSX over 80.0 of H1000.

Re: 300 win mag load
Maybe you need to find some friends with those bullets because you really should try all of them, leave no stone unturned. Borrow a few for testing?
One thing for sure. You can't decide which of those bullets that your rifle will prefer by reading message boards! BB

Re: 300 win mag load
I've had good luck with H1000 and 180gr SGK and 180gr SSTs. Also found a good load with RL-19 and 168gr TTSX bullets.
(These are all hunting loads)

Re: 300 win mag load
I use IMR 4831 for my 180's i hunt with, shoots lights out, I also use h1000 for my 190's and above and so far have had great results.

The 200s and heavier are a lot better in the wind...Which is why most of us use them.
Let your 300 be all it can be.
