Reloading 300wsm
Just got a 300wsm in a Browning A-Bolt Staker. Have a large supply of 30cal 150gr Win SP I use for my 30-06. I don't know if the older Win SP will hold up to the 300wsm vel. Has anyone tried the Win SPs with the 300wsm?

RE: Reloading 300wsm
I have a Ruger 77 Mk II in 300 WSM and I loaded up some 180gr Barnes XLCs at 3000 fps with 67gr IMR 4350 and I can shoot a .6" group at 100 yards. I also loaded up some 165gr Barnes XLCs at 3100 fps with 67.6gr IMR 4350 which shoot a .6" group also. The same 165gr XLC with 73.7gr IMR 4831 at 3200 fps shot about a 1.25" group at 100 yards. (All are MAX loads) I only use CCI primers and for the 300 WSM I use CCI 250 Large Rifle Mag primers.
I will be testing the 150gr Barnes XLCs at 3300 fps soon.
I hope this helps
