300 WSM 150-155 gr. hunting class bullets powder recommendation.

[Sgt. Brumbaugh]

I have a 300 WSM I am getting back into the mix. I am trying to get the 154 gr. Hammer Hunters to shoot. I am just working up pressures right now. Today I went up to 60 gr. of Varget- resulted in 3195 FPS, easy bolt lift and .001 case rim expansion. 59, 59.5 and 60 all had .001 case rim expansion. I see factory 150 gr. being sold that is 3310 fps. I am not a velocity hound, but I am thinking 3250 fps is probably all the higher I will go with Varget. 26 in barrel

Any other powder recommendations for the 300 WSM and 150-155 gr. bullets?

Thanks,
John

Try Reloder 16, imr4350, H4350... N550 should give you the highest velocity.
