Anyone using 200 grain Partitions in their 300 RUM?

HI all, I'm new in here so don't beat me up too bad to start with. I've always shot 180's in my 300 RUMs , but I just picked up some 200 grain partitions to try and i'm pondering what to start with. I have several different powders on hand- IMR 8133, 7828 ssc, Magpro, H-1000, different 4350's and even a pound of the elusive N570. What kind of accuracy & velocity are you guys getting form the 200 NP with various loads ?

Ive use IMR 7828 with 200 grain SGK's and Swift A-frame with very good results
Been shooting this combo for years without a fail to drop anything Ive shot at

On the SGK’s the load settled in on 85.6 at just under 3K fps
On the A-frame the load settled in on 83.3 at just under 3K fps
This is with a 26” bbl

I shoot 200 gr Accubonds out of my .300 RUM 95 GR Retumbo 3170 fps lights out on moose & elk.

I have older loaded 180 gr partition golds I loaded in the late 90s over an Accurate brand powder extremely accurate but never shot them through my chrono.

I load mostly Reloader 25 and Retumbo for the .300 RUM and load for five different rifles in it all shoot the 200 Accubonds now.
