Thread: 300WM and WSM - what's your go to powder for 180gn pills

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.

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.
