[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 486844, member: 10723"] I am loading for three different 300WSM rifles, Two Winchesters and one Ruger Mark II. When I first got my Model 70 Coyote I found that RL-19 gave me very good accuracy and good velocity. I have since moved away from RL-19 because of the effect that changing temps seem to have on RL-19. I have loaded IMR-4831 with good results and RL-17 will give great velocities but the accuracy is not the best. I have sort of stuck with the VV powders now and I like two different one for various weight bullets. For the 168 grain Barnes TTSX bullets like the bullets that you mentioned I love N550. This powder gives great velocity and good accuracy out of a factory rifle. For heaver bullets 185-190 Bergers I am using N165. I have gotten 2960 ft/sec out of a Model 70 Winchester without coming close to the max load. N560 will also work well with heaver bullets. Hodgdon's H4831 should also work well. It depends on what your rifle likes and what you are looking for. Is accuracy or velocity more important to you? I know we all want both. [/QUOTE]
