300wsm reloading

I'm using 180 accubond ballistic tip with imr 4350. Here's 2 loads, i still haven't found the sweet spot yet.

Here's it with 63 grains

IMR 4831 was giving me only moderate velocity, IMR 4350 was giving me so-so accuraccy, Win 760 gave me the best results of the 3, so I'm loading it with that powder right now.
I have 2 lbs of RL-17 that I have to try this summer.
 
62.5 g H4350
WW Brass
180 TTSX/TSX (didn' matter)
2950 fps (.65-.80" 4 shot groups @100 Yards)

Remington M700 XCR. Tried IMR4350, IMR4831, N550, RL17, RL19 (IMR4831 actually got slightly tighter groups, but opted for H4350 for it temp. stability).

For the Sako 85 Finnlight I am getting to replace the above rifle, I am switching over to 168 TTSXs for higher velocities - H4350 will be the first powder I try
 
Sako A7 stainless
Winchester Brass
Federal Mag primer
67.5gr IMR4350
OAL 2.90"
155gr Berger hunting VLD
Had a lot of not good loads with this gun, but this one is about 1" for 5 shots at 100 meters. Velocity is about 3190fps.

Never found a good load for 180 accubond and tried quite a few...oh well.
 
IMR 4350 has been a good one for my 300 WSM for both 165 and 180 grain bullets. My sweet spot with different 180 grain bullets runs 63.5 - 64.5 grains, WLRM primer. I've found that 63.5 grains RL 17 with 180 grain Nos Ptn with Fed 215 primer is a good one too though MV is a bit low at 2800 fps but accurate! I want to do some more work up with the RL 17, as every load up to 63.5 is sub-MOA. 2800 fps is not bad really and is about 200 fps faster than a 30-06. Good luck.

What primer were you using with the H4350? What was your IMR 4831 load? PM if you'd like.
