[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 686045, member: 1521"] magedon44, I don't know where you picked up the idea of RL-17 for 300WSM, but it's a bad source. It's too fast, your pressures are too high from the git-go. At least back off to RL-19 powder speeds. Then you can get higher velocities with lower pressures. One good check for loading ideas: [url=http://reloadersnest.com/query_bw.asp?CaliberID=244&BulletWeight=180]16 loads available in .300 WSM with bullet weight equal 180[/url] You might also look at Berger's seating depth procedure(a sticky in this section of the forum). Find best seating with a moderate load of something other than RL-17, then go to ladder testing & dial in your load. [/QUOTE]
