300 wsm powder of choice?

[Justin Crossley]

I shoot the 215 grain Bergers out of mine over R26.

Here is a thread about it. 300 WSM Loads

 

[88man]

Loaded for a few different 300 wsm rifles all shot the 180 accubond with R-22 the best

 

[cj1026]

I've had good results with H4350. But I've had excellent results with RL17. Both with Barnes 175lrx.

 

[MTGunner]

IMR4831....

 

[Fullfan]

H4350, 57.5gn pushes a 180TTSX at 3000 FPS

 

[Salmon River Solutions]

I will be loading up H4350 into mine tonight.

210 berger
57.5 gr H4350
.008" into the lands.

shoots under 1/2 MOA

i dusted off my Tikka and found some reloads in H4381sc. 69.5 gns and 180 Nos Accbd looked promising. Ive also ran some Superformance just for fun and its working surpisingly well. I had given up on that stuff last year in another caliber.

H380 does well in 300 WSM.

 

[Sako]

Imr4350, 168 Amax or Elds. Now working on LRX 175 with R17 and Etip 168 with Imr4350.

H414 is what I’m getting good results with right now. 168 gr TTSX

 

[PA Hunter]

I load 180 Accubonds with RL 17.

H4350 for me with Hornady 165 GMX. I started to run a test with Hybrid 100V, but got immediate pressure signs (sticky bolt) with my starting load out of the Nosler Manual. Very odd. I am in the process of rechecking my process. The Hornady manual Max load was much lower. Just saying if you are going to use the Hybrid 100V and the Nosler Manual start alittle lower than usual and move up slow. I was using 180 Accubonds for my test.

Nosler often uses "pressure barrels" for their load testing FYI - I don't like that practice but Nosler manual is still my "bible"

 

[TwoTikkas]

Currently using rl26 for 180s, imr 4831 for 165s.

 

[USMC307]

I struggled for a long time finding a load for my Kimber. Tried many of the loads listed above. Finally this week I confirmed 67 grains of RL 26, 180 accubond 2920fps is sub MOA.

I just picked up a Remington Model 7 in the 300 RSAUM.
Do y'all think that all of the above would work about the same it it?

I've never reloaded (for rifle's anyway), but have some buddies that do. Thinking I may get the stuff and try to find a load for this new rifle.

Yes the same powders will work. SAUM is a bit smaller in case capacity than WSM and you will be pretty constrained by mag space in a model 7 (bullets will be seated deep and take up powder space) so if anything the faster powders would be even more applicable (H4350, RL16)

 

[wytx]

66 gr IMR 4350, 165 gr bonded bullets, Grand Slams, A frames, Trophy bonded tips.

 

[hunting1]

H4350 with 165/168 gr, H4831sc 180/190 for me.

 

[bill_eb]

Is there much difference (accuracy or velocity) between H4831 & H4831sc ?
