300wsm N565 Berger 215 load data.

[Rusty85]

I've got a great load with RL26 in my 300 WSM and 215's but I'm wanting to play around with N565 as I've got a lot of it.
Any one using it in their 300 WSM? I'm 3.2 touching the lands with 215's.
Just looking for a good starting point and where I might start to see pressure.

Sub'ed to see what you come up with. Getting a 300wsm build now throated for 215's

Jumping in to watch as well. I have a good load with RL26, have N565. Interested to see what you come up with.

I ran your combo in QL. See attached.

There's some load data on LRO for the 300WSM w/215 but no one running N565. Seems most with RL26.

I'm looking for N568 data with 200-212 grain bullets if anyone has seen any.

Not that it helps you really but I am running N565 in a 300 prc. 75.5 gr is pushing 199 HH right at 3000 fps. Very good SD. I'd imagine it would do well in the 300 wsm.

N568 I don't think you'll ever get enough in the case to make it work. Even though it's kind of a short cut n570, it's still to bulky for small cases. Only case I have hope for it is my 300 HCA (NMI).

That's what I've read. Accurate but not as much velocity.

QL shows Rusty85 is spot on for N568. I ran QL for the 200 and 212 ELD-X and both in the 115% load density range at max pressure. Data attached.

After testing RL23 today, I may just have to make this my primary powder. Speed was down but accuracy was spot on. I think I'll put N565 on the back burner.

What was your load data on the R23. Bought an 8lber a month ago, hoping it works well with the 300wsm/215berger combo.

Ran an OCW from 64-67.5 looks like 66.5-67 is going to be the ticket. 67.5 showed very faint ejector marks on two of the three. Velocity at 65.5 averaged 2850ish and 67 was 2865ish in my 25" barrel.
This was in my rifle that's throated for a coal of 3.2" touching the lands so as always start low and up.

Anybody have any N565 experience w/ the 300WSM? My buddy has @ new rifle on the way and I have RL23 and RL26 stuff planned, but I haven't found much info for N565.
