I never change any component without reducing the charge and working the load up again.Different cases have different volumes and a load that was developed in one batch of cases,may not even be safe when loaded in another batch of cases.

Generally, Remington brass hasless capacity than Winchester, but not always! So you should do a capacity comparison. Then redo your load workup with the Win brass.

Hehehehe.. Some consider the .300 mags the ultimate all around chamberings and some consider them neither fish nor fowl...If you want a real NOTICEABLE increase in power over a 30-06, go to a .338...
Just for conversation's sake, regarding using a relatively fast powder in a big belted case... I saw a young fellow set up the bolt on a .300 Weatherby one time...Gas rolled out of the action and he had to hammer the bolt open with a block of wood... He was using a manual published load of 3031, which would be a real fast powder for that case....

I changed from some Lake City to Rem. in an '06 the cases weighed+- .5 grains and the same water cap. I don't have a chrony but the report and recoil was like I'd put a 308 load in the '06 . In the mil brass I was at a min. load that was well about as good as it gets in the field . In the Remthe shots were about 8" low at 100 . That was 3031 150 Horn. cci 500 .
