Have you looked on the Alliant powder web site?  They have load info there for a variety of projectiles.
I am working up a load now for my 325 wsm.  So far it is working very well.

Mind if I ask how the workup is going?  I have a 325wsm in Browning stainless stalker and have not yet found much good info on loading this up, and I know they are starting to get powders that are for reloading and are better about approaching factory claimed ballistics.  Would appreciate any info you'd pass along.  JAY
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

Pard loaded some 200 Accubombs up for his 325, he liked the results. I'll be loading some 80 TTSX's in my 240 using 17, supposed to be the cats meow....

I'm using Rl 17 in my 270wsm and pushing a 140 Berger VLD, 3280fps.  I need to go home and find my load chart to remember how many grains.  Very accurate load, .4 MOA with 5 shots.  Took my deer in montana last year at 415 yards, one shot.

It is going well as far accuracy goes, which is all I care about.  I have found three loads so far that have yielded MOA or better.  I haven't been able to measure velocity for quite some time as the chronograph has failed, and I haven't had the time to address it.  I am loading for the 180 TSX.  I also used IMR 4350 as a guide until a friend with Quickload ran it and came up with a max of 67 grains.
     Good Luck with your experiments!

I have had top velocities and good groups with RE17 in my 300wsm with 165 gr Hornady InterBonds.  I dropped a 6x6 bull elk at 330 yds last year with one shot using that recipe.  Worked for me.
