The 208 gr Amax is devastating in the 300 RUM at just under 3200fps, kills like a lighting strike.

Good to hear that the rifle likes the 200 Gr ELD X my Ruger American would not group better than 2 -2i/2 inches at 100 yards after further testing. I tried my old 180 gr Noslar BT load and it shot...

Rifle may not like them, it seems to like the lighter one better.

Sometimes a rifle or powder/ projectile combo may not click. Have you tried other powders with that bullet in that rifle before? If so how did they shoot ?

The max load for the 208 gr A Max is the same as the 200gr ELD X ( 56.7 grs )and according to the book you should be able to reach around 2650 fps. R 17 and 19both do around 2600 fps. R17 max is...

Same twist as mine and barrel length so results should be similar. Be interesting to see what velocity you get with those higher charges as I have only gone to 55.2 grs.

What rifle you using Robojaz ?

No info on pressure but I would think it should be fine as reloading books are conservative with there load data. Just start at say 54 grs and work up, you may be able to go above the book max but if...

The load I have still has over 1000 ft lds energy at 925 yards and sighted in at a 200 yard zero I need 30.5 MOA for a 1000 yards. It isn't a slough by any means but I think it would be a good load...

Should easily do 2600 fps with 208 gr Amax as I was well under max so you should have room to move. Be interested to hear your results. The speed I am getting with the 200 gr bullet is about the same...

Yep, according to the Hornady 10th edition manual the max load for Superformance and the 200 gr ELD X is 56.7 grs. I just picked up a box of 200 gr ELD x bullets today and rushed home and loaded 10...

I use the 178 gr ELD X in the 300 WM and think the 200 gr would be pretty good as well.

Yeh you would be right, either way you will know when they go off.
Robojaz I had a look in the Hornady manual and the max charge for Superformance powder is 56.7 grs for 2650 fps, I think this...

Was thinking of trying that bullet in my 30 06 as well. Hornady 10th edition lists the velocity with Superformance powder around the 2650fps. Should be a very good load with a bit of recoil I would...
