Anyone got a good 300wm load

I think 72 grs of H-4831 is as good a load as any for the .300 Winchester with a 190, but most powders from 4350 to Re-25 can produce accurate ammo with good velocity from this cartridge. More critical to accuracy are the idiosyncrasies of VLD bullets. I prefer to have the bullet supported by the rifling to help center it in the bore. For this reason I would opt to seat the bullet hard into the lands, thus giving the bullet a supported position in the chamber. But your ability to do this depends on the length of the bearing surface of your particular bullet, the depth you seat the bullet into the case neck, and the length of your chamber's lead. The 190 gr Burger has a bearing surface of .469." If we seat the bullet so that .200" of the bearing surface is in the neck of the cartridge, that leaves .269" to bridge the space between the case mouth and the rifling. This length should be sufficient unless your rifle has a very long lead for seating heavy bullets without crowding the powder capacity of the cartridge.
 
79 grains of H1000, Norma brass, 215M and on the lands with a 190 VLD. I was useing 80 grains but it got a little warm for long strings on warm days. This is in a 700 PSS rebarrelled with a 1-11 Lilja. The load was a Walt Berger suggestion.
It'll go to half mile, no problem. I've actually switched to 190 SMKs though. Now, what to do with a pile of Bergers.............
