You will get data on hodgdon website
I use the 200 accubound in my 300wm with H1000 and the accurate load is about 5 gr before I get the first pressure sign
Accubound is a great bullet. You wont regret if you rifle likes it

Powder/Velocity 2700 2800 2900 3000 3100
H1000 71.2 73.9 76.5 79.2
Energy/ft.lbs. 2914 3134 3362 3598 3841
Accuracy Load: IMR-4831/ 71.6grs. 3000fps/ 3598ft. lbs.
Hunting Load: IMR-7828/ 76.8grs. 3100fps/ 3841ft. lbs.
The 79.2 Grains should get up to 3000 fps. It does not line up exactly so you will have to move the powder weight over to coincide with velocity.

Just to had to the discution.
It maybe luck , but with Barnes TSX 180 gr and 78 gr of H-1000, that load shoots .25 moa at 200 yards in my Rem 700 5R 26 inches barrel and .5 moa at 200 y in my Ruger M77 Mark II with a 24 inches barrel.
With the Accubonds I wasn't able to reach nowhere that precision in both guns.
I'm happy. I load one recipe and shoot 2 rifles with GOOD groups.

My Montana 1999 is ready to go today with its new 26" benchmark. You can bet your last primer that it will get H1000 for its first try. There's somewhere around half a dozen .300s around here, all using the same powder. Most of them the same load.
H1000 actually got its name from being Hodgdons 1000 yard powder for the .300.

didn't know that.
however I do know (sure you do as well ) that on a brand new barrel -especially a magnum- throat erosion is quite severe on the first few shots,Give that Benchmark barrel a chance to settle in . They are great rifles that combo will be a shooter

I've seen in 2 occasions that barnes bullets did not open abd drilled holes right through. But on another hunt the barnes just dropped the deer in its tracks. So my confidence ain't very high on barnes.
