300 WSM

HAVE ORDERED A 300 WSM SAVAGE , WITH THAT I GOT SOME 230GR. BULLETS TO PUT THROUGH IT. ANYONE HAVE A LOAD OR ANY THOUGHTS ? have a 26" barrell with a 1-10 tr. any ideas.
 
I would think you will need a vey long throat and load single shot if you load those long bullets in a WSM.

i GOT THIS STRAIGHT FROM WALT BERGER USING A 26" BARREL
 
I shoot 230 Hybrids in a 21.75 lb. .300 WSM. The recoil is not painful but it is plentiful. My load is full pressure with 7828 SSC and is pushing the 230 at 2945 from a 34" barrel. I really would not want to shoot a full pressure 230 load from a normal weight rifle and 26" barrel. I think Terry gave some excellent advice.
 
not dure about over length yet. have not got the gun yet. i would like to thank everyone for the info especially when it comes to the recoil. "ouch" didnt even think to much about that.
