berger 300grain elite hunter RE-33 load data for .338 RUM

I have been looking for some data for this bullet/powder combo for a while now. I finally heard back from berger today and got some good info for the .338 RUM, I know the guys shooting the edge generally start somewhere around the same place as I would. So just trying to get some data out their for something that isn't the hard to find h-1000 and Retumbo. I am not responsible for anything you do with this information, it is untested by me, do with it as you wish, I am only trying to gain knowledge of this powder and bullet combination. Please start your loading at the minimum load or lower and work up slowly.

We did not list any data for the use of the Hodgdon US 869.* This is due to the fact that it would have had to been loaded to a 111% fill ratio and this would have made it extremely hard to have been able to get this heavy of a powder charge into the case and most likely impossible to have been able to properly seat the bullet, even with extreme compression of the charge.*
