300 savage Quickload - 07/18/12
Hello all,
I;m working with a Remington 700 Classic chambered in 300 savage. As far as standard powders, I can find all the data I need however I'm wanting to try H4198 and IMR4227 in reduced velocity loads with 125 and 150 grain bullets. I've had good success in the .308 with 4198 and the 4227 is calling my name for use in the 300 Savage. The 700 is a little unusual from the other rifles so chambered in that I have a magazine length of 2.800". With the 150 grain bullets I've measured so far, I can seat the bullet .200 deep and take full advantage of the short neck and not infringe on the case as far as powder capacity.
I'm thinking I would need data for charges at 3 different predicted pressure levels of 35,000PSI, 45,000PSI, and 55,000PSI. I know the 55,000 exceeds the SAMMI spec of the 300, but I'm thinking in the 700 with good brass I should be able to exceed the 46,000 SAMMI spec somewhat since the same rifle is chambered in 308 and other higher pressure rounds.
Is there someone here equipped with Quickload who would be willing to do me a favor and run the data with the 2 powders I'm interested in trying? If so, what information do I need to furnish as far as specifics?
Thanks in advance for anyone's help,
Rick
