I need load data for a 300 Blackout using the Lee 230gr boolit. This will be shot out a 16" bolt action savage so no need to worry about operating a gas system. I would like the loads to be a tad over 1000fps. I plan on using the piglet pc method for bullet lube. Thanks.

I haven't used the 230 grain Lee but I have played a lot with the 245 MBC & 240 J-words, all in a boltie.

Try around 6-6.5 grains of a fast pistol powder such as Bullseye, Reddot or Unique. They are silly quiet without a can. Reddot is the 'fluffiest' & will get you the highest loading density but it's the dirtiest. Bullseye is my go-to load right now as it's the quietest & cleanest. Unique is just about as quiet & still pretty clean.
