[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 1461661, member: 96274"] Wessman I'll lay out the process I went through with my 300wm and what brought me to the question i posted. Before I started any loading for my 300 I spent alot of time researching what others where having good success with. This brought me to 215 Berger hybrids and H1000 powder. In testing this setup I got good results but was a little slow in velocity. From there I tried RL26 based on ppl having good success and great velocity from it. I did find good accuracy and great velocity from 26 but it wasn't real consistent for me. One weather condition to another would show me a fair swing in velocity and ES would open up. Currently I'm testing N570 powder. There isn't any load data for this in a 300wm (hence my question) that I could find so I used the data from Broz' s testing to start with. I haven't nailed down a load yet but it shows promise and better velocity then H1000. With time I can test it more in different temps and weather conditions to see if it's stable and consistent. If it is it will be my powder of choice for this setup. If it doesn't work out I'll test IMR8133 next. For me it boils down to getting the best performance I can while still being stable and consistent. Stable and consistent trumps velocity so if I can't find consistency in any of the other powders I've tested I'll go back to H1000. [/QUOTE]
