Sorry I haven't
I love that round though I haven't seen any of the rounds for one so you have a pic of one of them?
That should perform very well
I should have said do youhave any pics of the cartridge (300 saum AI)

what powder?

 

[savageshooter86]

what powder?

H4350 or RL23 is why I will use

About 65gr of RL23 will serve you well behind a 208gr - 215s love it in my rifle.

I don’t mind them

I shoot the 208 in my saum imp. Works great better then the 215s for me

Friend uses them in his 300 wsm bench gun. Very accurate with rl 19

Based on some results mentioned here i decided to buy 250 and try them. 210 vld shoots well, so the better bc 208 with bit less bearing surface i hope i can hit the same velocity nodes, it should really pick up out there down range

 

[B23]

Any thoughts of trying the 208 ELD-M ??

 

[4xforfun]

I would LIKE to try them in my HG, but i am kinda stuck on 204 VT's.

 

[Orr89rocz]

Bought 250 to try. Working powder charge it seems 65.5 gr of re23 is the ticket. Getting 2868, 2869, 2873 on 3 shots so far. 30 off lands for the test.
my 210 vld load is also 30 off and uses 65.3 grains re23, it goes 2830’s. So touch more powder and less bearing length on the 208’s seems to work well. Need to do more seating now and get out to the long range

I've shot them in 300 WM & 300 NM. They were less finicky than any heavy 30 cal bullet I've tried. I've tried 215 Berger, 225 eld, 230 otm, 200 eldx & 230 atip &.
