looking to try hybrid 100v in a 208 amax but any good load data would be a big help. I have a pretty large selection of powders, thanks hombre
Re: 300wsm 208 amax???
Hybrid100v works better with lighter bullets. The WSM case may be a different story but I know it wasn't suitable for the 300WM.

Re: 300wsm 208 amax???
I've used H1000, 4350 & 4831 through mine, with the 208's. Let me know which of these are available to you and I'll post my results.
What are the specs on your rifle?

Re: 300wsm 208 amax???
All groups were 5 shot groups.
H1000 group size
69.0 .593
69.5 .592
70.0 1.011
70.5 .852
71.0 .449
H4350 group size
60.0 .988
60.5 .889
61.0 .832
61.5 1.152
62.0 never shot this load, I still have these 5
H4831 group size
64.5 1.172
65.0 .932
65.5 .766
66.0 .98
66.5 1.076
66.5 1.262
67.0 1.052
67.5 1.017
68.0 1.085
When I started load development I had H1000 and 4350. When I ran out of H1000 and couldn't get anymore, I tried making something work with the 4831. I was never happy with the results so I switched bullets. I wish I could have gotten a big jug of H1000.
My bullets travel through a 27" Hart, with a 1:10 twist. How to the 208's stabilize through a 1:12?
Keep us posted on your progress.

Re: 300wsm 208 amax???
no, not yet I just got my gun from APA. I changed up the bottom metal so I'm going to be arond .02 off the lands. I was running bergers touching the lands but won't fit in the mag.

Re: 300wsm 208 amax???
Hombre,
It's interesting how I started with less H1000 then you (coincidentally that's where my best groups were), and you started with way less 4350.
Also, all my rounds were 2.95 OAL. Would these fit better in your magazine?
How do the 208's stabilize out of a 1:12?
Couldn't help notice that your results with the H1000 were not your best. Perhaps you should send the rest of what you have in stock to me.

Re: 300wsm 208 amax???
Today I was just trying to get close on powder and charge. I'm just .05 shorter than the mag. and seemed to fuction ok. So far I love hybrid100v with lower case pressure and mo speed. Gotta prep some brass to load a new batch, to see how they do once they are strecthed out a little. I see your in Col. I'll be up that way Oct 22 on a mule deer/pronghorn hunt I think in units 118 and 123
