Actually, with my 700PSS, I have had good luck out of 94.5g of H1000 loaded at 3.6" COL and CCI Magnum Primers with 180g Nosler PT.

3D...I told you I shot my buddies 300RUM. It was also a 700LSS. He was shooting the 180 Rem Sciroco's. The accuracy was damn near perfect. He said they're coming out with a 150 Sciroco for the 300RUM. He was going to get those for deer in Virginia.

I've had good results with 89.0g RL22, Fed 215M primers, Nosler 180g Partitions, seated .020" from the lands. Velocity was 3230fps, groups under 1/2 MOA at 100yrds. I've got some 180g Partition Gold "molly free" which I'll be working with next-hope their as accurate as the original Partitions!

3DNWV, I was getting 3300FPS. Freinds are getting crazy speeds with Norma MRP and Rel 22.

Last weekend at the range, a buddy was using 95.5gr Norma MRP, 215m prim, and getting 3550fps using 180gr scirr. with .90 groups at 200yds. I told him he sucks. My rifle hates the Scirrocos, and thats the bullet I want to work the most for my moose trips. Watch out with Scirrocos, they build more pressure than your partitions, GS, and such. He, nor I ever saw pressure signs with Noslers, or Speers all the way up past max load, but I saw them with Scirrocos, up to 95.5g of H1000.

As far as this being a deer bullet, I have seen small exit holes in 90lb doe with scirroccos but major damage when the shot was not broadside (thru the chest and out the ham) Seems these bullets take a little bit of meat to expand.

THAnks Bigcountry, these loads were all shot through a remington 700 right all the books Ive looked at so far arnt show any thing this near this fast. Which manual do you guys have I think I need that one Thanks again

RE: 300 ultra mag load
 
Hodgeson shows 96g of H1000 around 3200. Factory data from remington shows 3250. Depending on your COL and stuff, it can vary. Hey I understand why you are sceptical, I couldn't beleive the speed with REL22 either. Go figure.

RE: 300 ultra mag load
 
bigcountry is that the hodgeson #27 manual? All my old manuals dont list 300 ultra mag and Im going to order a new manual this week so I need to make sure and get the right one.
