[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 1269606, member: 77249"] At the time the 300 WSM was developed seems the designers wanted a full big game rifle. A short action, to make a light rifle with power for Elk size game. My rifle likes 180 gr. Jacket-core bullets. It shoots Sierra best, Hornady and Nosler Part. less than 1" I spent a lot of time this fall with 165 gr. Hornady GMX, and 168 Gr. Nosler E-tip None shot worth a dang some groups over 2". Shot 180 Gr. Load went under 1". I tried H 4831 when I first got my 300 WSM in 2004 I could not get enough in the case to get the rifle to reasonable velocity. My go to load is, CASE Win. PRIMER WW LRM, BULLETS 180 Gr. Sierra, Hornady and Nosler Partition. POWDER. 65.0 Gr. (Sixty Five) IMR 4350. OACL. 2.860 Using a chronograph in your tests will give you a lot of information on your load. If scales are not accurate, or you have some bad primers it will tell you quickly. Good Luck and Happy shooting. [/QUOTE]
