    300 WSM / 165 gr Speer SPBT / 72.5 gr RL26 / 23" bbl / 3000 fps / ???? fps / 2977 fps / 0.7" group
    300 WSM / 180 gr NBT / 72 gr RL26 / 23" bbl / 3000 fps / 2994 fps / 3000 fps / 1.0" group

    Winchester cases, Fed 215 primers.

    Information, not recommendation - loads were at the top end of the scale powder wise.

    Tried RL23 but case did not have enough capacity to get much past 2900 fps with OAL limited by throat in this rifle.
    Just going to take a look around the next bend...
