Need a 300WM load for next weekend

[maccrazy2]

Hello all. I am going to a 1000 yard clinic next weekend to shoot 50cals with current record holder Bob Dogget. I just got my scope back from being repaired for my AR-30 in 300WM. I have not had a chance to do any load development for this rifle yet. I want to take it along to shoot after the 50 shooting is done. I have SMK's in 200 and 220 gr and Amax's in 208gr. R22 powder and wolf LRM primers and fireformed winchester brass.
I am only looking to load 40 rounds for messing around. I will get to load development when I have time later. Anyone have a good load to recomend with the above components? I have a couple load books but none show the wolf primers. Thanks.

I use RL22 at 71.6 grains, 208 AMAX, Win case, Fed 215M, 3.600" for my bolt gun. Pushing at about 3000 fps. Slightly hot. Work up appropriately.

May be something here...I'm developing loads with H1000 and the 208 Amax, but I don't have my load data in front of me.

Re: Need a 300WM load for next weekend

I will be shooting an AR-50 and a homebuilt 50 that I put together about 11 years ago. As for ammo I have some amax rounds loaded and some surplus ball. I will mostly be using those 2 and if time permits I will be working up some loads for some custom solid pills.
There is a new competition I am not really to familar with that I am interested in. Essentially you show up and are given 10 rounds of unknown ammo. You are scored on all 10 shots. I am not sure if it is done at one range of if that varies too. I am mainly going to learn what I can from Bob and then just get some trigger time as I have not been out much lately.
As for the 300 load. I am thinking 72gr of R22 and the 200gr smk's. I just want something to run thru the gun for fun that will be safe. I don't want to run a hot load without working up to it.

Re: Need a 300WM load for next weekend

sorry if this is off topic but i did a search and didn't find anything. I am wondering is there a site i can go for free load data? maybe i should just say what I'm looking for as its 300 win mag.
first the rifle im looking at putting together.
hawa m-1500 with 24" bbl
knoxx axiom stock (Will a magnum caliber fit in these? Is it short or long action)
and a nightforce NSX scope

I'm wanting to move a 180gr hornady sst about 3100 to 3300 FPS I saw a load on handloades(dot)com
83.0 gr Reloader 25 at 3300
I don't have a loading manual to compare this to so i need some help here. thanks for any help you guys can offer
