MT- Gonna assume that it's one of Steve's bullets. Is it a prototype? What powder? 3200 is pretty good speed also. Wonder what my 30-378 would do with them!
Both bullets are available from Steve. Haven't shot them yet. We crunched numbers and think the 199 will work in my 10 twist at our elevations. We'll see. 3200 is easy in my rifle with the 200 Accubond. Have a good elk tag this year. Gonna try to use a Hammer. mtmuley

I use Federal 210M and 215M primers in almost everything I reload. The guns that'll see the most use are:
375 H&H
Hornady brass
300gr Swift A-Frame
Reloder 16
300 RUM
R-P brass
180gr Nosler AccuBond
Retumbo
6.5 GAP
Hornady brass
140gr Nosler AccuBond
H1000
260 REM
Nosler brass
120gr Nosler Ballistic Tip
H4350
260 REM
Lapua brass
140gr Hornady ELD-M
H4350
This one's the range and competition rifle and will go through more rounds than the others combined, by far.

I’m still trying to work up a new 30-06 load, and it’s kicking my butt. Trying to go with the 178 eld-x, and have tried 2 powders (imr 4451 and Superformance) but can’t seem to find a decent load. I’m shooting Remington 700s (loading for 3 different rifles). I know these aren’t going to be tack drivers, but I’m confident they can get down near 1” groups if I can find the right loads. Back to the bench...

Going to switch the nosler to 175 partition. Also when hornady brass wears out will switch to nosler brass. I always load several different powder grain weights and pick the most accurate and then chrony to know speed.
