Just ordered me a box and was going to reload some... Can anybody tell me a good load for them for two rifles...

300 Win Mag

300 WSM

I guess I'll try my luck at shortmags forum...

Thanks anyhow

I'd be glad to help you if I had any experience with either of those cartridges, but I just got my .300 Win yesterday. I'll eventually try the TSX in it, butI've got some other bullets on hand I'm going to try first.

LB,

I just got back from the range this weekend. Had some good luck with the 168 TSX from my 300 Win Mag. I shot a few groups.Twoof the four were under 2" at 200 yds. 77.6 grains of RL 22 was the best, second best was 78.4.

Mr. Longbeard · 08-11-2006, 03:51 PM

Thanks for the info...

I will be loading them up with some RL22 this week end...

H4831sc does nicely with the 168TSX's from my 300 Weatherby

I like H4831 77.3 grs for the 165gr bullets so the 168grs wouldn't be but a hair off.

Dvdegeorge how do you like the H4831sc compared to the regular H4831. I have not yet tested it out. I would imagine it loads alittle smoother. But don't know how it would come out with the same charge.

dvdegeorge · 08-14-2006, 12:40 PM

To be honest have never used the H4831 only the sc version.Meters good and is accurate for me,according to Hogdon it is the same only shorter cut.

thanks dvd, I would think it would be very close on loading the same. And I could see the benefits in perfomance in loads.
