[QUOTE="WRG, post: 417444, member: 13638"] DIDYSIS, if you want the best performance from your 300 WM you would be better off using a heavier bullet in the 180 -200 grain weight range. You'll spend a lot of time trying to get that 150 grain bullet to group good consistently. The cartridge was designed around the 180 gr bullet weight class and is the best choice for nominal performance. The larger powder capacity of the 300 wm over the 30-30, 308, & 30-06 allows one to load to much higher velocities and muzzel energy therefore, it takes some finess to get the lighter bullets to stabilize. It's all about barrel wip and timing the bullet to leave the muzzel at the best velocity/vibration node for accuracy with any given rifle. Sure many here will dis-agree with this and have had success with the lighter bullets, but my gut feeling is your farely new to reloading "no disrespect" and if you want to achieve some sort of satifaction in your reloading efforts, try the heavier bullet for now.
