300 WSM veloicities

[Bkluke]

Just wondering what kind of powders are being used in the the 30WSM, with the 210 class bullets, and what your seeing for veloicities. ;D

I have 300 WSM with a heavy varmint taper Krieger barrel with a 1-10 twist. I use 210 SMKs and 208 Amax.... both are running at 2824 fps. I am using 62 grains of H4350.......... but this is a max load for me, USE CAUTION!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on what barrel you have it will determine how much powder is needed to get your velocity.I agree with bobinpa,62.0gr H4350 is warm in kreiger but not in my 5r bartline or broughton.2850fps is a good place to be with 210 berger,smk or Amax.

Was thinking of building a heavy gun for 1k, was wondering how fast I could push a 210. Is anyone pushing them at 3000 fps, or is that a stretch? Barrel length 30 plus. I was considering the WSM but, Could go with more case capacity. ???
