need some load info on Ramshot enforcer

hey guys, i has some recommended loads from here written down when i ordered some enforcer, but now i can't find my notes. anyway, i just bought 1 pound, but wanted to do a little loading for when my gun gets back next week.

it's a rem 700, 16" shilen barrel, and i have been shooting 220gr SMK's out of it with H110, but i wanted to switch powders because of the temp sensitivity.

so if you guys have a some recipes that i could start low and work up to, that would be great.

when i get my gun done, i'll have to post some pics. i was getting the barrel cut down from 20" and threaded for my SWR trident. also it's getting a matte black duracoat job.
thanks for your time, jon

Scoots load data is the same I got straight from Ramshot. I just recieved my 16" AR .300 whisper barrel and tried some loads with 180 and 220 round nose. Nothing I loaded cycled a new round, but did eject the spent case (using a YHM phantom 7.62 suppressor). I have some 240 smks that I am loading and will post results hopefully after sunday.

I didn't get to shoot the .300 whisper AR with 240 smks and Enforcer today.

I thought I had checked my rounds for proper COL, but when I was at the farm today getting ready to shoot the chamber wouldn't close all the way.

I just finished trying to chamber various lengths and came up with 2.156 for my COL. I had loaded the rounds at 2.170. I'm glad the rounds didn't chamber with the bullet forced against the lands today at the farm...

Anyone else with a .300 whisper AR (not .300-221), know what your COL is with 240 grain SMK's? Just curious what others have found.

Thanks,
J
