195 ELDM & 300 Win Mag load data?

[Live_weighT34]

I recently picked up an unopened box of 195 ELDMs from the classifieds and am intending on loading them for my Model 70 in 300WM over H1000, the kicker is load data for that bullet and powder in that cartridge seems to be nonexistent. Anybody have experience with that specific combo?

I’ve shot the factory precision match 300 ammo out of my old Tikka and they were very accurate but this is my first time handloading the 195s I’ve got 208s as well that my rifle seems to like but I’m hoping to pick up a little more FPS using the 195s.

Thanks!

Weird that's there's no data available for them I checked the Hornady app and it's like they don't exist. I would probably use the 200 eld-x data and work my way up.

I had an epiphany on my work break and looked at the TMK it seems like it’s got a similar profile to the ELDM and Sierra has published data for their 195 TMK and H1000 in a 300 WM so I’m going to try that out.

I’m shooting the 208 ELD-M with H1000 Coal 3.700 24” barrel freaking slams Elk.

They shot fantastic out of my old tikka but my model 70 just doesn’t like them. That’s why I’m trying the 195s. Got some loaded up now just haven’t been able to shoot for a while.

Worst case I know my gun will shoot 180 accubonds over H1000 and factory 200gr ELDX. Wish it liked the 208s though I’ve still got a few hundred

I just switched over to the 195 TMK RL16 2.95 coal in my 300 WSM 20” barrel. Haven’t shot anything with them yet, but good groups and velocity.

Hodgdon’s shows an H1000 load for a 190 grain Hornady boat tail. Minimum 76 grains at 2822 fps (44,900 cup) max 81.0 grains is compressed 2990 fps (52,800 cup).

Hope that helps.

Back in the day when Hornady made the std. 190 boat tail we used R22 with great success

I have a bunch of these myself I am going to try in my WSM as well. I've got H1000 H4831Sc to try. I've only got 1lb of RL16 so I probably won't bother with it being its hard to find it anymore. I did however get lucky at my LGS and found an 8# AR Comp on consignment and I grabbed it up quick lol!! The seller was awful proud of it!!
