Having trouble getting this bullet to shoot in this case; 26" 1/10 twist barrel. Would welcome any insight on starting loads, seating depth, and other magic needed to make this combination work.

Re: 208 AMax in 300 WinMag
Here's what is working for me:
Winchester brass (takes a lot of prep work)
Federal 215 Primer
78 gr. H1000
208 AMax
2931 fps avg out of a 27" 10 twist Krieger.
I don't remember the COAL off the top of my head but it fits in an AI mag.

Re: 208 AMax in 300 WinMag
Thanks for the info; need to go back in my log book and see what I've tried, velocities look familiar but I can't get them to give me a good group. So far I've tried RL 22, RL 25, 4831SC, and Western Magnum. I'm also not so sure I may not have a scope heading south as well.

Re: 208 AMax in 300 WinMag
You need to figure out the scope issue before putting much more time into finding a load. Time and components will disappear quickly with too many variables. Not to mention you'll get frustrated much sooner.
RL-22 and 4831 should have given you some decent groups, depending upon the charge weights you've tried.
