[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 747786, member: 30902"] Hornady makes some factory 300wm 165 and 180gr loads in the Superformance line with the interbond bullet. I'd say buy a box and take that for a ride and see how you like it. You may have to do some tweaking with your own load to get it to settle in for Max accuracy, but you'll definitely love the performance of the bullet. Grizzly Ammo offers one load with the 165 and one with the 180gr Swift SiroccoII that you can order through MidwayUsa.com and I'd say give one or both of them a ride as well. I'm going to be making a trip to SA at some point over the next three years to work with a client of mine and some of his friends for a bit and when I go I'm thinking I'll definitely take the .264wm and either the 7mm STW or 300WM. I also have the .300 RUM but I really see no need to tote it along since I won't be shooting big buffalo or anything else on the "dangerous game" list. Once you get your loads tuned to where you are happy I'd say contact the outfitter and find out exactly what is required for you to ship a few boxes of your custom loads a month or two ahead of your hunt to ensure it's waiting for you when you get there.
