I'm just getting ready to reload my newly built 300 WSM for moose hunting application. I have a model 10 Savage on which I fitted a 24" 300 WSM 1:10 twist barrel. The powder I will be using is Hogdon powder as I have most type in stock (Retumbo, H1000, 4895, 4831SC, 414, 4850). For primers I have in stock Federal Large Magnum Match primers, CCI BR Primers, standard Winchester Large and Magum primers. For brass, I have Norma; the best quality ones sold in box of 25. My bullet choice is Nosler Accubond in weights of 180, 200 or in the LR series 190 and 210 grains. I need to load to max. COAL to fit my magazine. I'm more interested in accuracy than velocity. I'd tike to know your load. Thanks, FRED.
300 WSM Nosler Accubond Loads - Need advice
- Thread starter 338x
- Start date
My 300WSM best load to date occured with R-17 65 gr, Accubond 180 gr, BR2, OAL 2,865, Remington cases, this load over the Oehler velocity is 3040 fps SD 6 and ES 12, this load out of my FNH Tactical 300WSM is a regular .7 up to 400 metres, at 500 metres, blame it on me it shooted 1.25 MOA, in my rifle ( and many more ) R-17 is the powder of choice, you should start lower if you want to try it this is fairly hot load but also the most accurate i did found yet, and i bought a pack of 500 ogives of Accubonds 180 gr from a fellow shooter ( he went 7mm) at the range for next to nothing ( 120.00 ) ...
