[QUOTE="Aussie, post: 35074, member: 2447"] JECustom , WXR seems to be one of the better powders albeit temperature sensitive . RL 22 is very similar . Start at about 66gns with 140gn pills and work up . I've read about some sensational velocities with H414 and IMR 7828 but think the loads must be much hotter than I like . Believe the factory loads use Magpro . The 140gn Nosler shoots quite well out of my rifle and performs well on medium game .The CT 140 Ballistic Silvertip is basically the same projectile with a coating I think . I didn't buy any "supreme" factory loads because I've heard that the nickel flakes off the cases after a few loads and is hard on your dies . 139gn Hornady SST's shoot 2 inch groups out of my Winchester model 70 featherweight . It's no varmint gun but I'm not impressed . Would be interested to hear whether you find it necessary to full length size after every shot . It seems that many have trouble (myself included)rechambering WSM rounds that are neck sized (with a proper NS die) unless the loads are very mild. WLRM Magnum primers seem a little more consistent in my rifle although apparently Winchester don't think they're necessary with WXR in the WSM calibres .
