[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 2104645, member: 107258"] Try Reloder 22 and 25.- you should be able to come up with some reasonably accurate loads at full power with the 180's. The 190's seem to be a bit more variable as to which powder for which make of bullet, but the same two plus reloder 26 are probably reasonable to start with. HINT: If you can find Fed 215 Match primers, they often give up a few FPS but improve the accuracy in the 300 WM. One more thing - as discussed above, 4350 is also a pretty good go-to in this cartridge. - especially for someone new to reloading. Not going to give you the top-end velocities but certainly nothing to sneeze at, and accuracy is fairly easy to lock in with the 4350's and minimal testing. Many moons ago I was taught that it's probably the best powder to start with in a whole lot of cartridges from the 30-06 family on up, as it tends to be harder to screw up with while you are learning the tricks. I still like it for checking out a launcher that I have never loaded for before. There are some differences between the various 4350's - H, IMR and especially AA, so make sure you follow published load data carefully until you know what you are doing! Oh BTW - 6.5 Creed - try 43.5 gr of IMR 4350 with a 143 ELD-X, standard Rem primer & Hornady brass. Let me know if you beat the accuracy! [/QUOTE]
