300 WSM Powder

[buddtc]

Greetings!

I've been running some amazing loads with R17 but have been unable to find much of it at all in this current climate. I'm running 178 grain ELD-X at 3089 FPS and they perform flawlessly on all the critters. Any suggestions for an easier to find replacement powder would be greatly appreciated!

N555, h4831sc and H4350 typically place nice.

I have had great luck with 150 grain bullets and 4064.

I use the same load at close to the same fps. Fortunately I have a few bottles of 17 yet, but when they run out I’ll likely try 4831sc.

All the records are set with 4350....and that's what I use. fwiw.

64gr H4350 with 178gr ELDX.

64gr H4350 with 178gr ELDX.

Pretty much what I use with 180 accubonds. Think I'm getting 2950 or so out of my 20" proof.

Max load of H4350 is getting me 3012 fps with the Barnes LRX 175. T3x with a 20" Benchmark barrel chambered in 300 WSM. Accuracy is good. Consistently seeing .5 - .9 five shot groups.

The pressure test of 12 different charge weights was about 1.25" at 100 yds.. I was pleasantly surprised by that.

Mild charge of H4350 185 Berger juggernaut 2827FPS factory Tikka barrel

63.7 grains of h4350 out of my tikka shoots well at 2950.

I'm shooting 215's around 2890fps with 4831sc

H4350 or H4831SC . . Either of those would be great.

When I had my 300 I used H100V. It worked well. I don’t remember the temp stability though.

H1000 seems to be a little easier to get now. That may be an option too.
