The 6th edition of the Hornady manual gives a load for 165 to 168 gr. bullets with RL-19 starting at 64.9 gr. and going up to a maximum of 74.5 gr. for a maximum load that gave 3,100 fps in their 24 in. barrel.  For RL-22, the starting load was 66.9 gr. and the maximum load was 79.1 gr. with a maximum velocity of 3,200 fps.  That said, you can use the data from any reloading manual for 165 to 168 gr. bullets as long as you start low and work up.

You do have a manual don't you?  If not, I would recommend you get two or three.

Also, I'm assuming by "300WM" you mean 300 Winchester Magnum and not 300 Weatherby Magnum.

Grumulkin: thanks a lot for your answer!
The caliber is .300 Winchester Mag.

I´ve got only the powder data from Alliant.

Like Grumulkin said, I would advise you to get some manuals, lots of good info in those
in addition to loads. For now, here's the hodgdon site with lots of loads.  www.hodgdon.com

3000 is a very easy goal & quite easy to do. Nosler shows 3290fps for example.

Good luck!

nomosendero: thanks you.
I specifically search the data from Hornady´s Manual for use the SST 165 + R19 or R22 powders (Alliant).
