Been experimenting with 2217 in WM and RL22 in WSM with some success. Been running IMR4350 in WSM with the lighter 165- 168 gn pills with good results. Interested to learn what other find works well in 180 pills (Berger, AMAX etc).

I'm boring, 180 SSTs in the 300 WM.
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.
Yeah that matches with what I got with RL22, 2850 - 2890 before hitting pressure signs in WSMQuote:

Hmm interesting, using 2213sc in my .300 Blaser Magnum 76g pushing 180AB 3016 with no pressure and excellent accuracy. 77g & 78g gave good speed but pressure started to show
200g ELD-X with 71g are pushed at 2909 and pinpoint.
Have wondered about 2217 or 2225 but can't see the point in changing a good thing
IMR 4831
I had great success with the 190 Berger hunting VLD and AR2217 using the data for the 208 grain pills.
Was a hot load at just under 3k fps.

WSM or WM ?Quote:

Yup, must be a very "warm" load for that speed out of wsm with 190gn pillsQuote:

I’m running 300wm 208 eldm with 2225 75.5gr 24” barrel. 2780fps, federal 215m and Norma brass . It’s about 1 grain below maximum for my rifle. It’s a match rifle not hunting. I’m at 1100 rounds and brass is on its 5th round and primers are still tight. I used to use 2217 but pressures were too high at this velocity the 2225 fixed that. Accuracy is great and shoots as good as I can perform on the day.
