Hello all!

As the title states I was hoping to get some loads for the 300WM and the 240SMK. I currently have 8lbs of H1000 which works great for the 210 VLD's and I would really like to stick with that powder if I could.

I'm shooting a 300 Rogue Improved which is basically an AI WM out of a 31" polygonal rifled Schneider barrel so I'm hoping I can really scoot these things and make use of that awesome BC

Much appreciated
Dave
 
Sierra manual lists a low of 67.7 H1000 for the 300WinMag for part#9245 240Grain HPBT Matchking in a 29" Hart barrel, 1-9twist, and a max of 75.0 for H1000, COAL of 3.600".

In a 26" 1-10twist barrel, they indicate a low of 64.6 H1000 for the 300WinMag with this same 240 grain Matchking, and a max of 70.3 H1000, COAL of 3.535" (bullet seated deeper, higher pressure).

Don't know how that'll run out of your 300RogueImp, but if you know the difference in case capacity between it and the 300WinMag, maybe it'll put you in the ballpark........you could also call Sierra and ask them about it --800-223-8799 used to be their number, but I haven't called them in awhile (years)

Be safe!
