Default 300 wm reloading.... starting point

Have just purchased my second set of dies. This time 300wm from user Ranets.

Will start reading the nosler reloading manual to find some good starting points but wanted to glean some experience with powders from you all....

What have you had success with?

rl 22 with 180 accubonds around 2950 to 3000 fps,start low and work your way up.You can push them faster,but that's seem to b the sweet spot for me.

I wish there were sample bottles powder. Like 1/4 lb would be nice. Looks from the manual that I can start with h1000 the IMRs look good too. Thanks for the advice all.
