[QUOTE="joegun, post: 586655, member: 26995"] I think I have finally found the load for my Savage .300wsm. I have been playing around with RL19 for a few years, but could not resist the temtation to try RL17 after reading about it on this site and others. I also have been shooting Nosler CT 165gr. but desided to try some 180gr Hornady SST's. I started at 63 gr. and worked my way up to 66. 66 was the best accuracy at .6 MOA at 100yds. No sticky bolt or primer flattening. I loaded up some more 66 gr. at .020 of the lands and went back out to shoot some more at 200 and 500. I shot 2 groups at 200yds. and both were just under 1". Moved the target out to 500 and shot 1 3 shot group of 9"( The wind was picking up pretty good by this time). I think I'm getting close to 3200 fps, but I don't have a chrony. I was adjusting up 7 MOA at 500 and was still 4" high. According to the ballistic calculator I used, that would be close to 3200fps. If Santa is good to me I might have a chrony by this time next week and I can know for sure. Merry Christmas Joegun [/QUOTE]
