For the 180gr Load that use to run I was using 68.2gr of R 19 with 180gr SGK and that shot very well aswell, a mate still uses that load as his main Hunting load and has taken a shit Load of deer with right out to 997y.

These are in 26 inch bbl

So yeah R 19 is a bloody good option for the 300 mate. hard part is getting Alliant powder now tho. Good luck

That's a pretty quick 190gr
