	John, I,m at work, & don't have notes, but I was B.S. a Hoch 300gr. in original High-Wall. I used IMR4227..and now I'm going pon memory from mid 1990's..but I seem to recall around 15-16grs. My std. accuracy load using a Leeth 250gr. nose-pour with fixed was 18.5grs. IMR4227.

	17.5 gr either 4227 or 4759, you'll be there. Now you can fine tune going up in grains...if you need to.

	May the Bullet Gods be with you.......

	Thanks Skalkaho: 4227 and 4759 burn rates are on either side of 300-MP - but wasn't sure of the charge A full case of FFg is 48grs and the other charge am planning to breech seat
