    I'm curious if anyone has a link to published data for BENCHMARK load data for 300 win mag. There are (were) dozens of choices for powder but with the buying craze lately.. there's not much powder about the shelves.

    I have benchmark for my 22-250 so i was going to give it a shot (excuse the pun). Cant find any load data for benchmark in a 300 win mag. Bullet weights i have are.. 155,165, 168, 220, and 110. Like to keep this in the 155-168 realm though.

    Where they send me.
    Nothing on Hodgon's page which makes me think its not a good option.
    I also check Lymans manual and Ken Water's book with no luck.

    I'm thinking the burn rate isn't right for a case that large.

    You probably won’t find data for that.I’ve always used IMR 7828 for heavys and 8208 for light bullets.

    If you have an overwhelming desire to use Benchmark on purpose, just because , contact Hogdons .

    But as noted above , it is outside the burning range typically use for .300 win mag .

    Ty. For now I’ll put howie (300wm) down and use 22-250 or 308. Thanks for the info/help.
