Haven't had time to get to range and just picked up these bullets. Any advice

Pretty massive bullet for a WSM, it will be seated deep. RL17, Ramshot Hunter, H4831sc, RL19

I push a 200gr sierra at 2850fps using a stout load of rl19

I am loading 200 grain accubonds in my son's 300 wsm. I mid nosler load of RL22. Good speed and good accuracy. Anyone that says you can't use 200 grain bullets in the 300 wsm does not know what they are talking about. The above load has taken several elk.

H4350 shot well in mine with 208-215s

What do you consider a good speed with 200 grainers in a 300 WSM??

What do you consider good accuracy?

Please share.......

I'm not saying it won't work, but the 175gr LRX is probably better suited to the WSM. We load 200gr Accubonds in a friends 300wsm with RL26 (23" barrel, 2825 fps) and it works well, on target and on game. The LRX 200gr occupies 15% more case capacity than the 200gr AB, when seated to 2.86"

I no longer have a 300 WSM...prefer my 308 Norma Mags.
When I did have one, I shot both 180 and 200 grain bullets
using Norma MRP. Had great success with both weights. D.
