Been working up loads for the 300wsm and thought I would share as data is hard to come by,
proj 168 gr nosler ballistic tip.
win brass
cci mag primer
RL17 powder
coal 74.4 mm
The following is data worked up am still developing with 3200fps as my goal.
65g RL17 3003,3016,3037.
65.5g RL17 3036,3079,3065.
66g RL17 3122,3122,3129.
Have got some more loaded up but am waiting on the weather to improve to test will supply accuracy with these.
I am interested to see how hard you can push the 300 wsm.
with norma brass rl17 federal mag primer and 168 amax i was getting pressure signs at 67.5.
I settled on 66 grains at just over 3000fps which was my most accurate charge.
The norma brass is quite soft i have found but havent used anything else
I got a load going for my brothers 300 wsm T3. It has a 22 inch barrel and suppressor. 64 grains AR2209, 168 AMAX, Fed primer, Norma brass. Ended up at about 2975 fps. When it shot 4 shots into a bit over an inch at 400 yards I thought "fu*k me" this rifle is too good for my brother!
Why?Quote:

165 accubonds - 67.3gn rl-17 seated at 2.845" coal. 3240 fps and put 4 through the same hole at 100(started shooting at other targets coz I thought I was completely missing!) think il stick with this one.
Others ive had great success with though...
168ttsx, 67.9 rl17 and 2.815 coal.they seem to like a bit of a jump into the lands. Also super accurate(touching holes at 100) 3220fps
165 targex hpld, 67.2gn rl17 and 2.87 coal. 3260 fps. Under 1" groups and real cheap projectiles(made locally too)
175 lrx, 65.7gn rl17 and 2.845 coal. 3110 fps and just under 1" groups at 100
All in Norma brass with Fed premium 215 primers.Just remember I worked up to these and they are just under max for me so dont start here, work up to it.

Found RL-17 not that good in mine, I settled on RL22 and push the 208 along at 2800 no worries
If using the 208's, I presume you are using for a long range setup. What sort of rifle are you using and presume it is braked if using the 208's? Is it still grouping well if its doing 2800 fps?Quote:

True true Jonesy if its accurate its good and speed not that important just thought might as well make use of the huge case.
well ive got space for another 1.5gr s of powder so maybe watch this space ????
Put it a few more paddocks back:DQuote:

Retumbo or 2217 might get you the speed you want without blowing your face off. However, not sure if the case would fit enough Retumbo to get 3200fps
yes 3 shot touching, remington 700 26in bbl, i do have a brake for it but have been shooting it last couple of days without a brake and smoked a goat at 50m last evening, didnt feel the kickQuote:
