    Reloader 17 300 wsm

    Whose running Reloader 17 in there 300 wsm. I know a lot of people say it’s temp sensitive, anyone had any first hand experience? Would like to try a different powder pushing 178 ELDX.
    20 inch barrel.

    Yep with 185vld hunters. Not pushing them to the limit 2850 I think from memory. Very accurate. Haven’t had any temp issues. Don’t think I’ve used it in freezing conditions, probably a couple degrees warmer right up to 30+
