[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 203330, member: 10723"] I own 4 short mags, 2 of them are 300 WSM's . With my 300 WSM's I have found that I get my best results using N550 powder and 165-168 bullets.Using two grains less than the max load listed in the Nosler #6 Manual I can get around 3000 ft/sec out of both guns. I have a Ruger Mark II with a 22 inch barrel and it will shot these bullets at 3000 ft/sec. or better. I bought this gun as my elk gun to be carried in the mts. It is short and light for the power that it produces. I have shot only one factory load in this gun. Federal 180 Nosler solid base bullets and it shot these bullets at 3017 ft/sec. My Winchester Model 70 with a 24 inch barrel shot the same load at 3055 ft/sec.. RL-19 will also work well in the 300 WSM's. I have yet to see a 30-06 that would come close to 3000 ft/sec with a 180 grain bullet. I also shoot a Winchester Model 70 in 270 WSM. My favorite load for this gun is 140 grain Accubonds and RL-22 powder. I get 3100 ft/sec with this load. I also have a good load using 140 Barnes TSX's and RL-22. This load will achieve over 3100 also. [/QUOTE]
