.300 wsm and IMR 4064?

[ReloaderRick]

Any one load with 4064 for a .300 wsm? I wanna give it a try? I got 4 lbs. and all different weights of bullets.

 

[bugs]

suppose you might find loads for but it is rather fast burning for that caliber

 

[Eagleye]

I would agree with bugs. Too fast for the 300 WSM.

That being said, it may work with 125/130 grain pills without issues.

Regards, Dave.

I thought I came across a recipe for the 300 WSM in the Nosler reloading guide? I was looking for a load awhile ago.

I reloaded IMR4350 and it worked good. I would give it a try with the lighter bullets.

You're right, my Nosler manual shows a load with IMR 4064 behind a 150/155 grain bullet. 56.5 grains as a start, working up to 60.5 max.
It also shows it as the most accurate powder tested. MV from 3063 to 3242.

I tried 125grain Nosler ballistic tip with 64.5grains of 4064 with great groups and close to 3600fps. Great varmint load.

I'll maybe try that load this spring, I am sitting on 1Lbs of 4064 made by DuPont.

There most accurate load with 150 gr bullet used Imr 4064

I had a 300WSM, just have the 270WSM. used RL19 with great results. I use IMR4350 in the .270WSM now.
4064 is my powder for the .243 and its supposed to be great in the .308.

 

[The Outsider]

IMR 4064 is a great and versatile powder, I've used it in everything from 300 Savage, 308, 358, 30-06, etc with excellent results.
People complain they can't find Varget around, but IMR 4064 works just as well from what I see.

In fact, if I could only have two powders in my reloading room, to cover all the calibers I reload for, it would be IMR 4350 and IMR 4064.

Barnes TTSX 168gr.
65.5 RL17 works like charm.
