Hmm I'll have to see what the LGS has available.Never used anything that fast. I used RL23 with mine and got 2950+ FPS in a 24" Tikka. I'd give H1000 a shot for better availability and stability if I were to do it again.
24” 300wsm 208eldm with H4831SC I’m around 2775 without pushing it.I've got 8lbs of imr4831 and a couple hundred 208 eldm and some shiny new primed up adg brass.
Anyone running a similar combo with some velocity reports?
I've also got some h4350 I could use, but that's tapping into my 6.5 manbun reloads.
Thanks
@Formidilosus carry on at book max with 20 rds and see how it groups at 100 and distance?
You won’t come close to 2900 with imr4831 in a 20” I don’t think. QUOTE]Realized that. I was thinking of a lighter bullet when I typed that. I'll be happy in the 2700 range, give or take.
I'll see what happens with 20 and go from there. I've traditionally shot 168 factory loads out of this gun but wanted to try a heavy bullet.I am no expert but uess you have a custom throat the 208 is too long of a bullet for the 300wsm. You end up having to seat the bullet deep into the brass and taking up case volume. You would likely be better off with 180 or even 160 grain bullets. My 2 cents
Good to know. Seemed fine with my mag length being just over 3" and the book coal is 2.84Definitely not true. Lots of us are doing it. It could use .080-.100 longer throat though to be ideal.

I'll be running them in a 20". We'll see how it goes, hopefully get time to go shoot next weekAnyone run the 208 in 18” 300wsm short action config?
