Need safe starting point for 338 Norma Mag reloading

[deerhunter70]

Hey All,
I'm in need of a safe starting point for my 338 Norma Mag. I will be using 300 grain Berger Hybrid OTM Tacticals. Primer is CCI 250s and powder will be either US869, Retumbo, or H1000. I would prefer the 869 since I have a bunch of it. What charge weight would be a good starting point?
Thanks,
John

Any one?

80-88grn H1000
84-94grn Retumbo

I wouldn't use CCI 250 can give hang fires especially with Retumbo!! Use FGM 215 primers

Cheers
