Re: .300 WSM 225 grain ELD-Match

The nearest data that i can find is 220 grain round nose loads from Hodgdon. When I called them to ask, they thought that using their 220 grain data as a starting point seemed reasonable. I also intend to seat these long and may gain some powder capacity that way. Barrel is a 28" 1-10" Bartlein. I plan to try 4831 and H1000,both Hodgdon Extreme series powders. Bullet,as per title,is the Hornady .308 225 grain ELD Match.

If I am the guinea pig then so be it. However, if anyone else has been there first, I'd love to share their experience.
I almost never load rifle but Hornady 9th edition does list 225 gr BTHP Match. Would not that load data work? They do use H4831SC as one option.
