I'm looking for a load or a starting point to load my 300 WSM. I'm looking for someinfo to load it with a 240 gr SMK. Got any ideas?

Thanks LeMay OUT
 
You can call the Sierra tech line for free info, however I do not think they would recommend that bllet. It is way too long for the WSM's. Might take up like half your case capacity /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
 
Short Mags.com is one place; however, if you are making the fur fly and not punching holes, 180gr is about optimum. For custom rifles with accurized actions, N560 is optimum for 220 gr which is as big as it is prudent to go. Bencrest Central has "Blaine" who shoots this combo and wins 1,000yd LG matches.

Some to get you started...
H1000 and H4831 are my first choice... not nessicairly in that order...

H1000 61.0 grains to 66.0 grains
H4350 50.0 grains to 55.0 grains
H4831 54.0 grains to 59.0 grains
IMR4831 53.5 grains to 58.5 grains
IMR7828 56.5 grains to 61.5 grains
N560 55.0 grains to 60.0 grains
RL19 53.5 grains to 58.5 grains
RL22 55.0 grains to 60.0 grains
RL25 60.0 grains to 65.0 grains
