I am looking for a load for my 300 Wby using the 200 Accubond and either RL-25 or IMR 7828 powder.

Before I can offer help, I need to know if you are loading Remington or Weatherby cases.
Keep it coming...

I have a majority of Remington cases. I also have 50 hornady and approx the same in the weatherby cases. I shpuld have mentioned this initially...my bad

Keep in mind you should start at 10% less. Remington case, Federal 215 primer, 80 grns of IMR 7828 powder, COL 3.5 inches, for a 200 grn bullet, 2912 FPS @ 60,900 psi.

For a 200 grn Nosler Partition, same primer, same COL, same case, 83.2 grns of RL-25 for 2940 FPS @ 59,700 psi. (My load).

Remember to start at 10 % less, look for pressure signs as you work up. Neither of these loads are for the 200 grn Accubond, but, I don't know why you couldn't use it for either of the above loads.

Have fun.
Keep it coming...

Ok, it has taken me awhile to get out to the range but finally I was able to get away from work and home. I used Hornady brass for this load and it worked out fantastic. With my Mark V deluxe the groups were right at a 1/2 in at 100 yds.

Fed 215M primer
