according to Nosler's web page the most accurate tested load is
H4831 / WLRM primer
start at 81.0grn 3022 fps 92% load density (volume)
max load 85.0 3232 fps 96%
I would check other sources to verify before useing

I have Nosler 155's I was going to try in one of my 300 Wby's

1. H4831 will work
2. Those numbers seem to be capacity with no seated bullet.

Check some more sources but it should work.

Until I have more time I went with 168s
