[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1501028, member: 95733"] As reloaders go I am about midlevel in knowledge and do not count myself among those considered advanced and accordingly my reloading process reflects this. I also own strictly 100% factory rifles and my accuracy expectations are anything at or below MOA and I do back flips of joy. So far I have surpassed my accuracy goals and expectations with the 300 WSM. I have enjoyed success with several powders and plan on trying at least three others but to date IMR 4831 has yielded so far IN MY OPINION excellent accuracy. I feel it worth mentioning I choose a Tikka T3 Light because of Tikka's stellar reputation for accuracy and the one I bought was at the best price I ever saw for a NIB T3. Several loadings of IMR 4831 with three different manufacturers bullets have all produced sub-moa accuracy but the best loading so far is as fallows: >65.8 grains IMR 4831 >Fed 215 LMR primer >180 grain Nosler BT or Sierra Boat Tail Spitzer Game King >Hornady Brass >10 shot average MV of 2886 FPS This load has produced sub-MOA accuracy at every distance I've shot it at so far. It is by no means the fastest I can push a 180 grain bullet as several loadings with RL-17 went over 3100fps and although accuracy was OK it wasn't stellar. I am still working on what is the maximum load of IMR 4831 I can use and maintain exceptional accuracy. Once I find that load I will give three other powders I have a try just for the boom of it.
