I realize this topic has probably been beaten to death, but I really enjoy reading what each persons take on reloading for this new to me round. Keep 'em coming. I have some 95 gr Partitions load over 39-40gr H4350 with WLR primers ready to test. It's raining, so I'll have to try them...

How does it perform on deer size game? I've shot a lot of Bergers, just not hunted with any.

I've been playing with the Sierra's mostly with 4451 and every primer combo. I have not tried the partitions yet. I'm probably going to abandon the 4451 for Varget or 4064. Your H4350 load sounds like a good one, accuracy there?

I'm working on a few loads for my daughters 18" .243 for deer hunting, and looking for some real world decent hunting loads. I have Sierra Gameking 85gr HPBT, 95gr Nosler Partitions, Barnes 85gr TSX, and access to Berger 95gr Classic Hunters. I have most common powders and all primers except...

185 Berger next to a 165 AB SAAMI

You might want to see how it shoots long. Most of the Tikka's I've had shot just as good with a bit of jump as they did close to the lands. If it shoots better, you can get a bolt stop kit and a magnum magazine. I have a T3 Varmint in 308 that I run 185 Berger Hybrids in. I have to load one...

thank you backwoods83. I have all of the powders and primers you suggested. What is max on those, I like to know where it is.

Could someone please relay some load data for the 190gr Sierra Matchking in 300WSM. Favorites or pet loads appreciated.

Thank you, brentc. I'm going to get some IMR7828ssc when I get back to my local shop. I saw it Monday when I was there. It shows up in my Barnes, Berger, and Nosler manuals rather frequently. My RL-22 load is pretty accurate (.422'), but velocity is only 2622 avg. Do you use mag primers...

I've had good results with IMR4831 in the 300WSM with 180 Accubonds and wondered if anyone used it with Bergers. Any pet loads with 210 Bergers? Any powder used with good or great results

Could someone please tell me what the detachable magazine length is for a Savage 300wsm. I've got a laminated factory varmint stock with no bottom metal I was thinking about replacing the Choate stock on my current rig and need to see if the mag is long enough for my loads.

I've had good results with my Savage 300WSM with 180gr Acubonds using IMR 4831 also. Averages .5 moa @2980 fps. The Savage has blind mag well so seating depth is not an issue.

jfseaman, are you having any temp sensitive issues with RL17?

First of all, hello to everyone since I'm new here. Now to the question. I don't have a load manual for Sierra, so if anyone could help with load data for that combo I'd appreciate it. I have the following powders: IMR- 4831, 4350 Hodgdon- H414, BLC-2, H4831SC Reloader- 22, 19, 15...
