[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2738033, member: 27307"] This is one of easiest charts to use when starting a search for reloading data: [IMG]https://www.nosler.com/media/wysiwyg/300-Wby-180gr-version-9-0.jpg[/IMG] While you can find some disagreement with this data, it does provide a decent beginning point to your question. I bought some of the Nosler .30 cal. 180 gr. AccuBond Blems from the Shooters Pro Shop just to try along with some of the 180 gr. E-Tips. The ABs did OK but the E-Tips were better. I use chamber reamers which are set up with different throats and free bore. The .300 Weatherby is designed using cup and core soft point bullets and these newer designs just don't fit right. So take some time to study your choices and see where and how they fit the chamber you want to use. If you get lost, make a guess at a dummy round then discuss it with a reamer maker. Your magazine box controls the COAL unless you're shooting a single shot. I prefer the Badlands BD2 bullet for hunting but anything over the 150 gr. or 175 gr. will require a serious look at a new reamer and twist rate. Since I use the 195 gr. I reworked a reamer specifically for it. Don't believe the 1:10" twist unless you're hunting in the mountains and in warmer weather. It will be 'stable' but you will give up BC. Use the Berger calculator. Also ask the folks at Badlands about getting some advice, nice folks! I know the US is the #1 fan club for Berger bullets but they are no longer a US company since they are owned and operated by NAMMO, a Norwegian/Finnish conglomerate. Their production has shifted to a global perspective and the US is not finding the support it once had when Berger was located in Arizona. They make fine bullets but finding them in stock when you need them is proving to be a challenge. There are other bullet makers. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
