recommendations on powder for .300 wsm

[cmillard]

i have 3 powders in mind for my .300 wsm. after finishing up with my trial of 215 berger hybrids and retumbo, i will be switching to 200 grain berger hybrids. thinking about 4831 ssc, hybrid 100v, and h1000. any input would be nice. thank you

I use H4350 with the 210 berger vld hunting bullets. Shoots great. This rifle is built on a long action something like 3.100 OAL I am getting 2850 ish out of a 24 in barrel. Good luck

wow, that is a lot of speed for that fast of a burning powder with a 210.

I like Superperformance. It will push a 150g over 3,400 at max load. I slowed it down to 3,250 and it is perfect. It is easy on the brass even at max load. I am a hunter and novice target shooter, but I shoot five inch groups or less at 500 yards every time the gun fires. Bullets touch at 100 yards.

i want to stick with the powders listed. not looking to break velocity records. just want a safe, accurate load

I wasnt looking to break any velocity record. Like i mentioned this rifle is built on a long action and my OAL with the 210 berger is 3.100 that is .018 off the lands. My load is 64.1 gr of H4350 with no sign of pressure. This is a 9 1/2 lb hunting rifle and it will shoot .375 groups at 100. I didnt try any other powders this one worked great right from the start. Good luck with whatever way you go.

i may give 4350 a try, since i have some that is not being used for anything
