338-300 WSM

[bb204]

Can anyone recommend some starting loads for a 338-300 WSM ? I plan on shooting 180 - 200, and maybe 225 gr bullets. Preferably with temp stable powders.
Thanks in advance for any help,

Just use starting loads for comparable bullets in a 338 Win Mag. Your capacity in the 338/300 WSM is about 5-7% less than the standard 338 Win Mag, so be very careful as you approach max Win Mag loads. I'd suggest staying at around 95% of a max charge for the 338 Win Mag unless you're very comfortable reading pressure signs.
