208gr amax in a .300wsm

[Chevy1080]

Was wondering if anyone is putting a 208gr hornady amax into a .300wsm? I am curious if loads are compressed with such a long bullet as I am considering trying some of these bullets out for some long range shooting. What kind of results are you getting with these bullets?

I haven't used them in a 300 WSM, but they are great in a 308. I can't imagine that they would be too hard to get to work in the WSM.

What loads and velocity can you get?What twist?

I'm shooting tham through an 11 twist 26" barrel. With Varget, I can get 2550, but that isn't on a node so accuracy is about 1/2 to 5/8 MOA. Slowing them down to about 2500 does the trick. Accuracy is on par with anything else in this barrel - 1/4 MOA...
