I'll be loading for a hunting pard's 300 weatherby using 210 vlds. He's found a good supply of reloader 22, so I'd like to use his powder rather than my own. Does anyone have decent load data for this combo?
Politicians and Diapers both need to be changed often, and for the same reason!

Alliant's site lists 78.5 gr for 2881 fps max using a 200 gr Speer. That should give you a good start? Hodgdon lists only another 100-ish fps from slower powders like. Retumbo so RL-22 might not be a bad fit?
Of course Alliant lists 3022 fps from RL-25...
An email to Berger would be good also, as I've found them quite responsive.
My uncle lives in Custer. Gorgeous area; I love it! A friend of his has a 500 yd range in his field and We're working on a shooting weekend. Love that part of the state!
Good luck,

RL22 should work fine with that combo, but in my experience if it doesn't (and you have a bunch of RL22), just drop down to the 185gr VLD before you give up.
