Given the great results reported with 215 Bergers why are you using 180’s? I know you need a longvaction for 215’s and this mat be the reason. Thinking about a 300 wsm build and wondering.
The rifle I’m loading for won’t accept long bullets due to the magazine. It is also my sons rifle so 180s are perfect. He took his first mule deer with it this year at 308 yards. It is a savage ultralite and the magazine is definitely a limiting factor.
My 300 win mag shoots 212 super well so we will keep that rifle running heavies. Variety is the spice of life. :chuckle:
I am super impressed with how well the savage shoots factor nosler 180 grain accubonds. I’m sure I can make it shoot even better with the same bullet. It should be a super accurate rifle for my son with the hand loads I’m working on.

I really liked Reloader 17 in my 270 WSM
Play with it in the summer and winter... In my experience RL17 is EXTREMELY temperature sensitive... like 1.5fps per degree.

That’s what I found and had dangerous pressure signs offer working a load in the winter and shooting it in the summer. Sold the 8lbs I had and won’t use it again.

17,19,22,26 are all temp sensitive. Ive burned 40 or so pounds of h4831sc in my wsm's and its really been the ticket. Recently been playing with 215 and 230 bergers with Viht n565 and it has also been performing well.
How fast can you push the 215’s ? 2850 ? Yours is throated long on a tikka action if I recall.

modified rem 700 SA. With n565 i hit pressure at 2,970. H4831sc was 2,930. 2,885 seems to just be the sweet spot for that gun with both so thats where I've left it.17,19,22,26 are all temp sensitive.

The new N568 that is coming out, whenever that is :rolleyes:, with the heavies in your WSM should give you a nice boost above what you're getting with either of those.modified rem 700 SA.

im highly doubtful of that. You can only fit so much powder in a wsm case.The new N568 that is coming out, whenever that is :rolleyes:, with the heavies in your WSM should give you a nice boost above what you're getting with either of those.modified rem 700 SA.

Maybe but the new N568 is a SC powder and if it's something like N570 but in SC form, with the 230's particularly, it could do well in the WSM's that are able to run a OAL around 3.200im highly doubtful of that.

Beginning load 62 grains to max load of 64 grains of H4350.
200 yards to target
Lab radar for chronograph
Hopefully the data shows up. I will also post a picture of the target. Amazingly all but all rounds shot well up to 63.4 grains, then it opened up and shot right.
I will work with 63.0 grains and start playing with seating depth. With that said, it shot 1/2 MOA at current seating depth so may just take it out to 300 and 400 yards and see how it performs. I'm perfectly OK with the speed being where it is, especially with a powder that is very temp stable and reliable.
