Anybody have the load data for Sierra bullets 300wsm? Specifically I'm looking for 165 grain info for the powders I have on hand that may work, including IMR 4350, 4320, 4064 and Varget...

I've looked just about everywhere on the web without success so far...
 
165gr SBT.

I can pick up a new powder if what's on hand will not work.

This one it is: https://www.sierrabullets.com/store/product.cfm/sn/2145/308-dia-165-gr-SBT

Your powders are more adequate for 223 and small rifles. 300WSM is a large margnum rifle (pretty much the smallest LM, but still a large magnum), so you might find some loads, but accuracy will be more or less great. 4320 is an especially old powder, I'm not sure it is still commercially available.

Anyway, you can check Hodgdon't for loads:

Use datas for Nosler partition. Start at min load. There's a load in there using varget, but varget is at the end of its capacity, so it might not produce the best load. If you want to stock up on a single powder that will do pretty much anything 300WSM, try to find Win760 or H414 (they're the same powder).

This is what Lyman 48th edition says (Note that XMR-4350 is not the same as IMR4350 nor the same as H4350):
165 gr. Jacketed Ballistic Tip
2.850" OAL
BC: .475
SD: .248
