300 wsm and 215 berger

[batsandowls]

What velocity can I expect with the 215 berger out of a 300 WSM 26" pipe? Now I don't mean running it the limits but just a nice average velocity? Can it push it fast enough to make sense shooting it?

Should be able to get 2850 or so with 4831 SC. Maybe more with a slower powder. I can get 2900 with a 30 inch. Matt

I'm getting 2940 with 62 grains RL17 seated to fit in a Wyatt extended magazine box. Also have a load seated further out with 63 grains and running upwards of 2970+, but only get 4 firings before primer pockets are too loose with this load. This is with a Krieger 5R 1:10 twist at 26".
