[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2007174, member: 66917"] I'd stick with the rifle you have if it shoots to the accuracy level your use case requires. You're not going to realize that much performance difference between a 24 and 26 at most typical hunting ranges. If you're attempting a lot of shots on game in the 600-1000 yard range then a few more fps could be helpful with wind error. It won't make a difference in elevation correction or velocity, the 24 will give you plenty, especially with that high BC bullet. Being new to reloading you should realize you're going to give up performance in stock 300WM with a long bullet because it's going to need to stick way down into the powder column to fit in the rifle. I would look at the Berger 190 VLD and the 205 Elite Hunter as well. They will take up less space in your case. I have had crazy good groups out of the 190 VLD in a couple of 300 WSMs. [/QUOTE]
