I need 300wsm info

Mr. Longbeard · 05-25-2005, 04:10 PM

I just got my reloading stuff in today and the first thing I did was take the manual out and look for the 300WSM. Guess what I found[:@] I need a manual that has the loads for 300WSM. Which one do I need to get. I want to shoot nosler or hornady bullets....

Nosler if excellent safe manual for WSM loads.

Nosler, Barnes and Hornady all have 300 WSM data and I use all three. I would wait on the Barnes book though it needs to be updated. The Hornady book cost more but it is good to have because it has more calibers than all the rest.

Here are the loads my Ruger 77 MKII 300 WSM likes:

180gr Barnes XLC
67gr IMR 4350
CCI 250 large rifle magnum prime
.6" group at 100 yards

165gr Barnes XLC
67.6gr IMR 4350
CCI 250
.7" group at 100 yards

150gr Remington Core-lok
69.5gr IMR 4350
CCI 250
.5" group at 100 yards
This is the group in the picture

One of my friends has done a fair amount of loading for the 300 WSM. Really likes RL 22, and gets some healthy velocities.

"Sierra Rifle & Handgun Reloading Data Edition V" has .300 WSM Data. Good luck.

Thanks Longbeard, its not easy with that gun, it only weighs 8.5 lbs and I load it hot, so it kicks like a mule.
