Load Data for 300 Savage - 01/09/16 06:40 PM

I am looking for load data for a 165 gr HPBT Sierra Gameking bullet for my 300 Savage. Anyone have a Sierra book to send me some specs?

Might also try some of the on line data centers from the powder mfg'ers that offer caliber specific info. I use Hodgdon & Reliant frequently for info.

I really like the Hodgdon site's data for rifle and pistol, Alliant seems to be better for shotgun reloading.

I have a Sierra. Let me dig it out. What powder are you thinking about?

When did Sierra stop making a reloading manual?

I'm another 300 Savage shooter and QuickLoad user. Just for sport, I ran the numbers through the software to see what choices would be generated. If you are interested, here you go: 300 Savage Sierra 165-grain SPBT

My 300 Savage is a 1949 Remington 722. Love the rifle! Shot this sow on Saturday night about 8:30 pm with a Speer 150-grain HCRN using 42.0-grains of Varget for 2635 FPS.

Good job RD. Lot of different powders and load information on the PDF. Thanks up

Late to the party again! Thanks RD, that gives some more powder choices. BTW, mine is a 1952 Savage 99 with vintage early 60's Leupold.
