    Starting load suggestion for 300wm and 212 eldx


    I'm looking for starting load suggestions for my 300 wm and 212 eldx.
    I am planning on using h1000 and maybe r26 if I can find some.
    I have lots of other powders, so open to other suggestions.

    Specs:
    26" McGowan 10 twist
    Nosler brass
    Fed or cci mag primers

    Thanks,
    Michael

    This or
    69.5-70.5 H4831
    Same primer
    The Dunning-Kruger effect is alive and well.

    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    I totally agree with Robinhood, 2 posts above.

    Best accuracy I got was from H-4831 at 69.5gr, 3.470" coal. Federal brass, 2,724 fps agv. from a 24" stick, 210M sparkplug.

    I tested 215M and 210M primers and velocity was the same (3 or 4 fps extra with 215M), Point of impact was the same, and accuracy was the same. So I use 210M since I have much more of them than 215M's.

    Also tried H-1000 but accuracy wasn't there. If I remember correctly, 75.5g to 76.5gr was best with H-1000
