Berger 300 winmag 215/230 Target load data

[JOHNM1A]

Who has Berger's recommended load data for the Berger 230's and 215's for a 300 Winmag?
Thanks

Not sure on Berger's recommendation, but H1000 is hard to beat.

I hope this is readable. I'm pretty sure Berger generates this data with quick load. So be careful, work up slow, etc.... I'll send the 230 grain data in a bit

Let me know how the 230's shoot. I have some but I'm haven't loaded any cause I'm not sure if they'll be stabile (and I'm having to much fun with some amax's right now)

Read this. Jeff has a ton of info on the 215's with 13 kills from 600-1200 yards

Thanks for the info. Berger responded and I will post at the bottom of this thread.

Here is what I received from Berger:
The following tables should have the info you need:
One comment though, these tables were developed with a SAAMI COAL (3.340). With your extended throat, you may find that your pressures will be somewhat lower.

Load data was generated using QuickLOAD with a 26 inch barrel and a COAL (cartridge overall length) of 3.340 inches. Your COAL and velocity could be a little different.

AS WITH ALL RELOADING, APPROACH THE MAXIMUM LOADS WITH CAUTION, AS ALL RIFLES AND RELOADING TECHNIQUES WILL BE DIFFERENT. IF YOU CHANGE ANY OF YOUR COMPONETS: THIS INCLUDES DIFFERENT POWDER LOT NUMBERS; YOU MUST REFIGURE YOUR LOADS BY STARTING WITH THE MINIMUM LOAD.

Hope this helps, if you have more questions, feel free to fire away.

I'm running 74.5 Retumbo out of a trued 700 action throated for these bullets. (230). Oal 3.011 to ogive. Fgm215m. Kissing lands. Out of a Broughton 5c 30 1/4" 1:10. I'd tell you my MV but you'd all think I was nuts. 15.54 moa to be on at 800 yards with a 107 yard zero.
Here's 2 shots at 500
