[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 2682051, member: 22335"] I have 3 different 300 Weatherbys we used for elk this year, all shooting 180-grain bullets. Two have the TTSX, and one is the Hammer Hunter. I use 7828SSC with the TTSX and both rifles are at 3210 fps with 26-inch barrels. On a Vanguard, you have a 24-inch barrel so I suspect you will get 3150-ish, and that’s very good. For the 300 Wby, try 80-82 grains 7828SSC. I have found that if you load 80/80.5/81/81.5/82 and maybe 82.5, and run a 3-shot group of each, one of them will be the load for your rifle. Obviously, watch for pressure signs as you go up. So far that has worked for every 180-grain/7828SSC combination I've used. There have been no problems with accuracy loading the 300 Wby at all.
