Default RE: 180 gr. load for 300 RUM

The best way to know is to go and actually shoot the ranges you desire. This will tell you what your particular gun/load combination does....and not just a guess or suggestion from a ballistic chart.
This is the only way to know whatthe actual trajectory of your load is.I would do this before spending money on special scope dials.I also wholeheartedly agree with not starting with a max load.Doing so could result in a locked up action or worse.Start at a reduced load and work up while checking for pressure signs.
