300 wsm lr rig powder recommendations

[Orr89rocz]

Not True, It takes patience, planning, & diligence to get some powders, but they are available.
H-4350 & H-4831 are available intermittently, Alliant Reloder 23 is available intermittently, and a good amount of the V/V powders are available. - Sign-Up for Notifications from several web-sites & be willing to take action & quickly is what its going to take.
I was told that there wasn't any Reloder 26 or V/V N-570 to be had. - With a focused plan & some effort I not only found both but have both in my supplies.

Regards & Good Luck - Ron -

Well idk what im doing wrong. Atleast considering reloder 26. I got an email last night from natchez that reloder 26 was in stock. Email was at 10:41 pm. It was 10:51 when i saw it and went to the site to add 2 lbs to my cart because thats all they had left. I didnt even get to log in before they were gone. Im on the email list from every major online supplier and havent gotten a notification in over a yr. glad you are having luck but what else can I do? diligence and planning? Not sure i understand what you are saying here. I cant control the demand and supply. No local shops have it, already checked. I scoured the net looking.
Maybe some of the other powders are good but all i want to work with for now is reloder 23 and 26. I definitely can find 4350 and 4831 from time to time locally. I dont want intermittent availability lol this makes it hard to get.

Reloder 26 is too slow to use the the 300 WSM. - Reloder 23 is what you may want to try, (or H4350, or H4831 regular or SSC). - You may want to also try V/V N-160 or N165 with heavy bullets in the 300 WSM (I've heard reports by a few shooter/reloaders that they've had some success with these as well)

I'm NOT implying anything. - I'm recommending a "method to achieve desired results" which is to obtain the product(s) desired. - I know it isn't easy, and that I can be time consuming, takes patience, and even some luck. -

Good Luck - Ron -

I had good luck with re22 but want more temp stable results so 23 would be the next thing i try. But to be honest i had a real nice hunting load with 26 in a elite hunter 180 grain. Approaching 3100 fps in a 24” tube and good accuracy at mag length. Nice flat 400-500 yard deal for deer and woodchuck. I was hoping it would work the same with 210’s. Re22 i have at 2800 with the 210’s at mag length loads, but gun is throated long for the 210/215’s. Curious if 26 could get me over 2800 with accuracy even if i had to seat long for single loaders. I know velocity aint everything but if i can get some it can help. I really should get a new barrel in the 28-30” range if i want to be more serious with longer range shoots. Thanks. I’ll keep looking and waiting.

In my experience, RL26 is no better for temperature resistance than is RL22.

Again, in my experience, RL23 has been very temperature resistant.

I have a 32" barrel as do 3 of my friends. ALL 4 rifles are shooting 215s and all use RL-23 and all are between 64.0 and 64.7grs. All are shooting somewhere between 2885 and 2905. There has GOT to be something to RL-23 and the .300 WSM / 215's.. NOTE: these are all 32" barrels..

I get a lot of info from this site so I figure I should occasionally contribute.

My 300 WSM LR/BR light gun is very happy with 215 Bergers and 64.5 grains of RL-23. It gets just a little over 2900 fps from a 28" barrel with low extreme spreads. During tuning, four five shot groups at 200 yds averaged .3 MOA. Can't wait to see what this tune does at 1000 yds.

I ran RL26 in a WSM once
208 Amax coated in tungsten long throat and pushing the envelope 72 grains (10" drop tube) shooting 3125fps with a 30" barrel 11 twist
It shot well in cold weather didn't try it in the hotter weather
