Powders for 300 wm

[ryanshaw44]

What are some powders you'd recommend for a 300wm shooting 180g bullet?

I have the nosler and hornady books. Many powders to choose from just looking for a starting point.

Thanks

RL22 is the gold standard for 300wm... I am trying out H1000 for 210gr loads ATM but the next on my shopping list is H4831.

VihtaVuori also makes good powder... I wouldn't hesitate to try some loads with N560-N570

Re22, H & IMR4831, H & IMR 4350, Re25, and Re19 are all in a range of acceptable powders as well as anthing falling with the burn rates of the above powders.

H4831 would be about perfect. I think RL22 is right in the zone too but I have yet to try it for my 300wm.

Which bullet?

IMR 4831 & 4350 give excellent accuracy and are great powders to learn the 300WM with. You can't go wrong with a 180gr interlock either. Great accuracy and general purpoe hunting bullet.

H4831, or H4831SC work very well with 180 and 200 grain bullets. H1000 is also good, but I have used it mainly in 220 grain loads and to a lesser extent with 200gr bullets. The other powder that I would like to try is Ramshot Magnum.

I have 2 rifles in that caliber and both like IMR 7828 with 180 bullet.

RL 22 and Nosler 180's were my go to loads...not sure of exact powder charge, but it gave great accuracy and velocity

in mine, H4831 works good with 180gr
with 200gr H1000 is better. little less speed than retumbo, but more accurate

IMR 4350 is what i'm using in both my 300wm(Nosler 180gr BT) and my 243 (70 and 90gr BT). Very impressed with the accuracy.

I wasn't in love with imr 4831 in mine. I'm about to try h4831

70 Grains of IMR-4350 and a 180 Grain bullet always made nice tiny groups with my T3 in .300 WM.
Max load. Approach with caution.
