Primers for 300 WSM

[Guest]

What primers do you guys suggest , I'm gonna be shooting 18gr bullets with H-4350 powder , I relize that its 60+ grains of powder but is a Magnum primer realy needed , I typicaly use CCI BR-2 primers but wasen't to sure if it would be woth the hassel to try to work up loads with them if their not hot enough.

Get away from the CCIs.

Fed 210 or WLR generally works the best in the WSM.

I use Federal 215 M primers seem to do the job.

I use F210M primers in my 338 Yogi with 97g of powder you should be ok with just 60g

JD,
I recently worked up a load for a buddies .300 WSM using 165gr's. I tried every load that was in the Nosler #5 manual. Nothing seemed to work in his A-bolt. I eventually went to a max load of RL22 and Rem 9.5M primers. Three shots, one hole. He was pleased and I was tired of the recoil.
I don't think there is a listing for RL22 under the 165gr so I did the math and came up with 70gr as max. However, 69gr shot the best in his rifle. Hope this helps. Johnny K.
