Anybody have and loads they are using with good results they are willing to give up?

On one of the tikka pages on Facebook I talked to a guy who had sub half minute groups with the 175 LRX using a max load of RL22. Ive picked up both to try, but haven’t had a chance to roll any up yet.

Not a Win mag but a 300 WSM.
Reloader 26.

The circles are probably not an inch around and didn’t adjust seating depth after. The 168 ttxs shot even better.

I've been thinking of switching from the ELD-X to the 175 or 200 LRX in front of Reloader 26 in my 300WM. The 200 ELD-X shoots well below sub moa, but wanting to go unleaded. Just haven't got around to ordering the LRX yet.

Don't know about the LRX but in my Cooper 56 in .300 Win Mag the 175 gr. Berger VLDs ahead of a 215 primer and IMR 4350 max load will produce consistent 1/2" MOA @ 100 yards and have shot several 7/8" groups @ 300 yards.

(and does a great job on whitetails and elk)

I use RL 22 in my Win Mag with the LRX bullet. I use RL 17 in my WSM with 130 grain TSX. I use the 130 grain bullet on deer and switch to a 165 grain bullet for elk. Both powders shoot extremely well with Barnes bullets.

In my 300 win mag, I use 80.5 grains of H1000 with Barnes 175 LRX and fgmm primers.

It shoots great out of my sendero and Havak. It’s .5 grains under book max and I load exactly to recommend COL.

It’s going 3066 FPS out of the sendero.
