    168 vs 208gr in 300 WSM

    There isn't any reason why you shouldn't be able to get the 208 to shoot better...sounds like you just need to do a bit more "tuning" with it. It will definitely out perforn the 168 at distances past 800.

    RL17 in 260

    Been using it in 6mm and 6.5 mm x 47s, pretty much interchangeable with H4350 loads (actually was able to go a bit higher with 17) Gave me about 100 fps faster velocities, so I would say it would work great in the 260 with the 140's...

    7mm RUM w/ factory tube and the 175 SMK?

    I shoot the 175s out of a 1-9 twist in a 7-08. With 7 RUM velocities a 10 twist will stabilize the 175.
